- The operation began at 5:20 a.m.; up to 100 firefighters battled the blaze for nearly five hours.
- During firefighting, the roof of the two-storey hall collapsed first, followed later by parts of the office wing.
- A fire brigade spokesperson said the fire probably began in a neighboring yard with barracks and workshops; its cause remained unclear.
- The THW secured an occupied neighboring building; two residents stayed with friends.
“At our briefing today, the 2018 fire also came up because a few colleagues remembered the incident. That danger did not exist today, and the fire was not at the company where the blaze broke out seven years ago.”— Henri Moschner, fire department spokesperson, discussing comparisons between the current fire and the 2018 blaze.
