The fire, though quickly extinguished, caused soot and smoke damage throughout the building, necessitating the closure during week 22. According to Mikkel Alstrup, head of IT, digitization, and Citizen Service, the incident involved a cobblestone thrown through the main entrance, followed by a fire being started in the lobby.
