    1. The fire has now been extinguished. Cooling efforts are ongoing. Since the back of the hotel is on a slope, fire extinguishing efforts could only be carried out from the front and side facades.
    2. I would like to share this pain, which is impossible to describe.
    3. Unfortunately the number of dead is now 76.
