Thusis apartment building fire

Overview

A major fire in the Swiss town of Thusis destroyed a multi-storey building containing a restaurant and residential apartments. The blaze, which occurred overnight between August 20 and August 21, 2026, resulted in four deaths and eight injuries, with two individuals reported in serious condition.

Rescue efforts were hampered by the collapse of the building’s staircase, requiring emergency responders to use a crane to access the structure through the roof. The building remained unstable following the incident.

Subsequent investigations and identification processes by Swiss authorities in the Grisons canton confirmed that two of the deceased were Romanian citizens. The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its embassy in Bern have since engaged with Swiss authorities to provide consular assistance to the victims' families.
