The flames originated during the early hours, prompting a large firefighting operation with four units to work intensely in the area. Although the fire is now under control, emergency services anticipate continuing extinction efforts throughout the day due to the difficulty in fully extinguishing the blaze and reducing the dense smoke accumulation.

The scale of the incident has impacted more than half of the building, which houses both the bar and the hotel, necessitating the evacuation of all rooms and leaving over a hundred guests affected by the emergency.
