In a short time, the fire was quickly controlled and completely extinguished by the police force. Initially, the authorities determined that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, which ignited the advertising sign installed on the wall and caused the fire.

An official at the German Children's Hospital said that this billboard was installed outside the clinic, and the initial cause was determined to be an electrical short circuit.

However, at the time of the fire, which occurred on a holiday, there were no patients in the clinic, so there were no casualties. After a few minutes of the fire, the rescue team was able to control the fire.
