Five teams of firefighters and rescuers travelled to the scene immediately. Things in an apartment with an area of about 50 square meters were burning. During the intervention, firefighters evacuated two men, aged 35 and 40, from the burning apartment. These were given first aid by doctors on the spot and refused to go to the hospital. A 58-year-old woman, who was taken out of the fire, could not be saved.
