It was still unclear on Friday morning whether there were people in the hall.

Thousands of household batteries and rechargeable batteries were stored in the hall, which is why there were also small explosions in the course of the fire. At around 8:20 a.m., the fire brigade was finally able to end its mission and hand the site back to operations, the spokesman said.
