While the first forces from the nearby city center station were arriving, further emergency calls were received. It was said that the hallways in the hotel were heavily smoked. Entrances are also blocked by the smoke. As a result, hotel guests from the upper floors were trapped in their rooms.

A major alarm was then triggered on site: a child was missing, according to a fire brigade spokesman for MOPO. Several ambulances and an emergency doctor were on duty, and 30 hotel guests were spotted by the forces. Three guests were suspected of smoke poisoning. “But they remained at the site at their own request.”
Ultimately the fire was brought under control and the child was found again. It is unclear where the child was. The police have started an investigation into the cause of the fire, which is still unknown. (dg/rüga)
