A townhouse on the Dennenbroek in Breda was completely destroyed by fire on Sunday evening. The house has been declared uninhabitable. A resident was injured and was transferred to the hospital. The fire brigade pulled out around ten past six for the fire. The fire brigade gave the signal Brandmeester just before half past seven.
Due to the fire, the power is temporarily closed in the neighborhood. Residents of neighboring houses can suffer from this. Network administrator Enexis will get started with this.
The residents of the townhouse where the fire started must be staying somewhere else for the time being. According to the police, the two adjacent houses would also be uninhabitable. According to a spokesperson for the Central and West Brabant fire brigade, that is not yet clear. “They do research in these houses to determine to what extent they can go there or not. That will become clear tonight or tomorrow.” The residents of these two houses will also have to sleep elsewhere next night.
A lot of smoke was released during the fire. Local residents were advised to close doors and windows. It is not yet clear where the fire started in the house. The cause is also unknown. The residents of the house were taken care of outside.
The fire brigade managed to prevent the fire from spreading to the two adjacent houses. These homes do have water and soot damage.
Extra breathing air
The fire brigade came to the fire with two tanker sprayers, a platform and a water transport. She quickly scaled up to a big fire because she needed extra breathing air. These are the bottles with oxygen that the fire brigade wears to enter the house.
The fire attracted a lot of attention in the street.
