“When firefighters arrived on scene, they noticed that flames were coming out of the upstairs windows and devouring the roof. While a first team carried out the extinction from the outside, a second team entered the building to contain the violent outbreak which was raging in one of the rooms. A third team was responsible for limiting the spread of the fire in the roof from the aerial ladder.“, continues the spokesperson.
