At times around 100 emergency services on site
Dense black smoke had been rising from the hall for hours. The fire brigade was on site with around 100 emergency services and 25 vehicles. The emergency services were able to contain the fire relatively quickly and prevent the flames from shooting through the roof of the hall.
Because of the smoke development, the fire brigade had warned people in Bremen-Nord, Gröpelingen and Walle regarding odor nuisance and smoke precipitation. Residents were asked to close windows and doors as a precaution and turn off air conditioning and ventilation systems.
