Emergency services were dispatched quickly, involving a significant firefighting response with approximately 75 firefighters, 20 fire trucks, and additional support, including helicopter assistance.

At least five individuals were hospitalized due to burn injuries, with two victims in critical condition suffering burns as severe as 90%. Local authorities confirmed the presence of heavy smoke emanating from the site, and the fire reportedly spread to adjacent businesses, prompting a precautionary evacuation message via the national emergency service.
