Within a very short time, the entire building was filled with smoke. The emergency services arrived. In addition to the fire department, the Red Cross was also on site with five vehicles to care for the residents.
Stairwell totally filled with smoke
Rescuing them was initially quite difficult, however, because the stairwell was very smoky and the people were unable to leave their apartments. However, the fire department eventually rescued the people and brought them outside. Around ten people then had to be treated by paramedics and two residents suffered slight smoke inhalation.
Cause of the fire still unclear
It is still unclear what started the fire. It is said that a couch in the stairwell caught fire. However, investigations into the exact cause of the fire are still ongoing.
