The fire department received the alarm around 6:30 PM, and by 8 PM, they reported that the fire had been extinguished without spreading to the structural elements of the building. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, highlighting the effectiveness of the emergency response.

The fire was contained within the hall, and the firefighting crews worked to ensure that it did not spread further. Over twenty firefighting vehicles were deployed to the scene, demonstrating the seriousness of the incident.
