Fire behaviour of HI-PIR STM panels manufactured by HUURRE
The building stands between 9 and 10 metres tall, with its façade featuring HI-PIR STM panels manufactured by Huurre.
The fire originated in the electrical box located within the office area of the warehouse. When the employee who noticed the smoke opened the door, airflow entered, intensifying the situation. The hot, dark smoke quickly descended and spread through the wood and polycarbonate of the office, making it impossible to extinguish it manually.
Over 50% of the roof skylights melted, indicating that temperatures exceeded 300ºC. Despite the intense heat, the warehouse’s metal structure remained intact, and neither the façade nor the roof panels collapsed.
