Thanks to these prudent measures, the spread of fire and smoke to other areas of the building could be prevented.

A respiratory protection team from the fire brigade used a small extinguishing device to quickly control the fire. A smoke protection curtain was used to further contain smoke development, supported by a fan to minimize the penetration of smoke into other parts of the building. These measures made a decisive contribution to the fact that the apartment remained habitable except for the kitchen.
