As the fire continued, worries about the security of surrounding buildings and people grew. But the fire department moved quickly to prevent any deaths or injuries, offering some sort of respite in all of the chaos. The fact that there were no schoolchildren in the area, most likely because summer vacations were still going on, have reduced the incident’s possible effects.
There is still more to learn about the fire’s starting point, which has led to conjecture and concerns regarding safety procedures in educational settings. Authorities are working to identify the primary cause of the destructive fire and make sure that precautions are in place to stop such accidents in the future as they continue their investigations.
