A big pre-dawn fire ravaged a ski resort on Sunday in Courchevel in the French Alps, leaving two people dead and at least 22 others injured, Trend reported citing Xinhua.
The blaze broke out at around 4:30 a.m. local time (0330 GMT) on the third floor of a three-story accommodation building in the Croisette resort, news channel BFMTV said.
Firefighters found the burnt bodies of two individuals, four seriously injured and 18 slightly injured. Three of the seriously injured were taken to the hospital by helicopter.
