Eleven bodies have been found in the smouldering ruins of a holiday home for disabled people that caught fire in eastern France, a chief firefighter says.
The fire broke out at 6:30am (04:30GMT) and quickly ravaged the building, officials said.
The holiday home in the town of Wintzenheim, about 70km (50 miles) south of Strasbourg, was rented for the summer by a charity that takes care of people with learning disabilities.
