A fire broke out Sunday evening at the Hotel Continental Park in Lucerne. Media reports described a large-scale fire department operation. The Lucerne Cantonal Police confirmed only that a fire had broken out in the hotel’s attic; there was no information regarding possible casualties.
Photos showed a column of smoke rising above the hotel in downtown Lucerne, which is located right next to the train station.
The cantonal police declined to confirm media reports that hotel guests and residents of nearby homes had been evacuated, citing a press release scheduled for later. Initially, no one at the Lucerne Fire Department could be reached.
