Upon arrival of the first responders, flames were already shooting from the roof and windows. Several fire-fighting sections were immediately formed to defend the unaffected part of the commercial complex against the flames. 1500sqm area including an administrative building can currently be maintained. Also in operation is the so-called unit for special fire fighting to protect the area.

The commercial complex is used by various companies, including a parcel delivery service, a car repair shop and several large vehicles are affected. In total, 1500sqm of area was destroyed by the flames.

No one was injured in the operation, affected residents have the opportunity to stay at the scene in a bus provided by the Wuppertal City Utilities.
