Room with stored furniture parts. Here there also was ignited a fire with the help of cellulose lacquer, while the fire ended being extinguished because of lack of oxygen.

Intro

Access was gained to the company by picking the lock on the back door. The fire originated in two rooms, both of which contained stored furniture parts. The company’s own cellulose varnish had been used as an igniter in both rooms.
