A significant fire has destroyed a bakery in Jokioinen, leading to concerns as operations at its sister company, Piiras Kartano, recommenced shortly after. The company's CEO, Mikko Virtanen, reported that they had reactivated some machinery after a period of inactivity, but reported minor smoking issues from a reactivated oven. This situation has left staff understandably anxious and traumatized, prompting increased safety protocols during equipment checks.

Emergency services inspected the facilities at Piiras Kartano in Tammela to ensure safety after the reactivation of machinery following the fire. Virtanen highlighted the need for caution among the team, emphasizing that the staff immediately contacted emergency services to report any issues with the machinery startup. The incident, which happened early Monday morning, has heightened the vigilance of those involved in the bakery's operations due to the recent traumatic event that affected their primary facility.

Moreover, the police have launched an investigation into the fire at Jokioisten leipä, treating it as a suspected act of arson. While Virtanen refrained from commenting on the criminal investigation, he stressed his commitment to cooperating with authorities to ensure a thorough examination of the incident. The bakery community in the area may be impacted as this event unfolds, potentially leading to greater scrutiny of fire safety measures across similar establishments in the region.
