A major fire broke out at the 'Westfalen-Blatt' newspaper building in Bielefeld, Germany, early Sunday morning.

Over 220 firefighters from surrounding areas battled the blaze for hours.

The complex structure of the old building posed significant challenges for the emergency responders.

The fire destroyed the upper floor and caused the ceiling to collapse, forcing firefighters to retreat.

While no injuries were reported, the damage to the building is extensive.

The cause of the fire remains unknown, and it's uncertain whether the newspaper will be able to publish on Monday.
