Firefighting operations continued for several hours. At its peak, the fire covered more than 1,000 square metres. The blaze engulfed the roof truss structures in the attic.<\/p>\n<p>At around 10:45 p.m., the Emergencies Ministry reported that the fire had been brought under control. It was fully extinguished by about 3 a.m. A total of 27 Emergencies Ministry vehicles were deployed to tackle the fire.<\/p>\n<p>A crisis response headquarters operated at the scene. Residents of the building were temporarily relocated: some stayed with relatives and friends, while others accepted accommodation offered by the local authorities in a dormitory.<\/p>\n<figure
