Around 100 emergency services with 15 vehicles were on site and immediately began extinguishing the fire. The picture was impressive: the roof structure was opened using a turntable ladder in order to fight the fire from above. “We had to take a targeted approach,” commented an operations manager. Several teams fought the flames inside the house using breathing apparatus. Fortunately, there were no longer any people in the building at the time of the fire.
