Five people died in a fire at an apartment building in Manlleu, Spain, while two British skiers were killed in an avalanche in the French Alps, and a new Silent Hill game is being inspired by a small fishing village in Fife, Scotland, according to multiple news sources. The blaze in Spain, which occurred on Monday night, started in a storage room of a five-story building, and the victims were unable to escape, according to Sky News. Meanwhile, the avalanche in Val d'Isere, France, claimed the lives of Stuart Leslie and Shaun Overy, along with a French national, despite a red warning for avalanches being issued the day before the tragedy, as reported by Sky News.
The new Silent Hill game, titled "Silent Hill: Townfall," is being developed by Screen Burn, a Glasgow developer, and is set in the fictional village of St Amelia, which is based on the real village of St Monans in Fife, according to BBC Technology. The game is described as the developer's "biggest and most ambitious game yet." The survival horror series has sold millions of units since its first game was published in 1999 by Konami.
In Spain, emergency services responded to the fire in Manlleu, near Barcelona, but the cause of the blaze is still unknown, according to Sky News. The fire broke out in the northeast of the country.
In France, a friend of one of the skiers, Mr. Leslie, posted a tribute on Facebook, stating that he lived life to the "absolute maximum" and "squeezed everything out of every moment," according to Sky News.
In other news, the town of Tumbler Ridge in Canada is receiving an outpouring of support after a school shooting, with people traveling from neighboring communities and across the country to offer comfort, according to The Guardian. Jim Caruso, who traveled 700 miles to be there, said, "I wanted to hug people, pray for them and, most importantly, to cry with them."
Additionally, the town of Potters Bar, near London, is facing a potential data center development, with locals protesting the project, according to Wired. The local government has granted planning permission despite the concerns of the community.
