Firefighting units arrived at the scene within minutes of the call. An operational headquarters was set up to coordinate efforts, communication with municipal services was established, and water supply for extinguishing was continuous.

As a result, the fire was fully extinguished over an area of 570 square meters. No casualties were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
