As reported by the Security and Emergency Consortium, the fire was in a room of about 25 square meters that was full of belongings. The fire affected part of what was accumulated, and water was used for its extinction.

The Local Police also came to the area. After putting the chain back on the door and leaving it with a shackle, the firefighters finished the service.
