They were blowing heat
According to the amateur videos on the Internet, it is clear that the kitchen was burning first in the stall, the flame gradually growing, and when the canopy was hit, all the stall has collapsed.
At that time, an adjacent café was burning and the flames were spreading to the second floor of the building.
"At first they tried to stifle the heat, but that did not help and the firefighters came," said a man who later worked as a living statue of the knight. He did not want to reveal his name.
He added that the panic did not occur and that people left the place quietly.
It was a stand that was not included in the Christmas markets.

Witnesses witnessed the fire at a tribune at the edge of the square. The tour guide told the English-speaking client that some sausages were too crowded.
The stands complained
Already four years ago, activist and former MP Matej Vagac demanded the withdrawal of the stands in front of the café because, according to him, they violated the law on the protection of monuments.
"The law prohibits activities in the immediate vicinity of a cultural monument that could compromise the monumental value of this monument, while the immediate vicinity of the immovable cultural monument is considered an area within a radius of ten meters" , writes Vagač, who will replace Matus Valla. .
In December 2014, the Regional Monument Authority asked the city, as owner of the land and owner of the building, to remove the stands. But that did not happen. The wagon made other suggestions, the last one a week ago.
The center of the city is not the only case where the company's owners have opened a Christmas snack bar just outside the historic monument building.
