A deadly fire ripped through a Swiss nightclub in a mere 90 seconds. The rapid blaze highlights the dangers of "flashover," a phenomenon where a fire rapidly engulfs a room. The incident occurred [insert date] at [insert club name] in [insert city, Switzerland].

Witnesses described a sudden and intense heat surge. This "flashover" happens when a room's contents reach ignition temperature simultaneously. The result is near-instantaneous, total involvement of the space in flames.

The fire's speed overwhelmed safety measures. Experts are now re-evaluating fire safety protocols for enclosed public spaces. This includes examining the use of fire-resistant materials and improved ventilation systems.

Flashover fires are particularly dangerous in nightclubs due to confined spaces and flammable materials. Acoustic foam, common in music venues, can contribute to rapid fire spread. The Great White nightclub fire in 2003, which killed 100 people, serves as a tragic example. Pyrotechnics ignited flammable soundproofing, triggering a flashover.

Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of the Swiss nightclub fire. Authorities will likely focus on potential ignition sources and building material compliance. The incident is expected to prompt stricter regulations and increased fire safety training for venue staff.
