The swaths of smoke were so massive that the old people's home, nearby, was instructed to keep all windows closed during the operation. This was a necessary measure because there was a risk of problematic smoke spread. In order to fully control the situation, the firefighters also use a thermal imaging camera to identify and delete hidden embers. A total of four firefighters were used under respiratory protection to quickly control the situation, such as tz.de reported. There are still no findings for the cause of the fire.
