APF reported that the fire was noticed at one of the stands of the countries participating in COP30. It was located at the entrance to the summit area, and the rapidly spreading smoke was said to have led to a small outbreak of panic in the building. The event participants were immediately removed and security cordoned off the scene.
Footage from the first minutes of the firefighting operation has been released online. We see huge flames, which were fought with fire extinguishers from the very beginning. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to a larger area and no one was injured in the incident. The fire was extinguished relatively quickly.
