A shed at the rear of a furniture factory in Kapelstraat went up in flames on Tuesday evening. At that time it seemed that asbestos particles had been released. That has since been confirmed. The shed is located in densely inhabited area, so that a number of residents have to leave their house. Wearing a mouth mask is also mandatory in the Kapelstraat.
The entered perimeter also remains in force for the time being. The civil protection is present to steer everything in the right direction. Perhaps the residents can go home again tonight.
