The firefighting efforts were made more difficult, according to the fire department, because it was a wooden structure. Massive smoke development and strong sparks challenged the emergency services. A drone was used for better situation assessment, providing continuous aerial footage. Extinguishing was also carried out from above using a telescopic mast platform.

The fire departments were alerted at 9:45 PM, and "fire out" was declared around midnight. The subsequent extinguishing work continued into the early morning hours. Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
