In order to melt the yellow appearance as a sign of danger, the firefighting team quickly moved out and was divided into the required emergency vehicles. Three missing people were suspected in the smoky building, one was even visible on the window. The tank fire engine was also quickly positioned to prepare the outdoor attack. Two respiratory protection squads went into the building for human rescue, while the aerial guide team made leadership.
