Abstract:
„According to the fire brigade commander Uwe Schubert from Gmünd, a great advantage was a fire curtain that went down when the alarm was triggered and thus sealed off the catering area from the foyer. Such a curtain, says Schubert, can withstand the flames for at least 30 minutes. This probably prevented the flames and especially the smoke from spreading to the rest of the ground floor and the upper floors.“
