A carport and barn went up in flames on Sunday night at Alberdingk Thijmstraat in Valkenswaard. It was feared that the flames would skip to the house next to it. The residents fled out of the house.
The fire was created at the carport, where a car and motorcycle stood. The fire grabbed very quickly. The house was also damaged, as well as a lamppost, the roof gutter and a pile of wood at the neighbors.
Loud bangs
Local residents woke up loud bangs. They helped to get the resident, his son and the dogs out of the house. The man was stuffy because of the smoke and was checked in an ambulance.
The fire brigade quickly had the fire under control. The extinguishing will take some time.
Cap
On designating the press photographer, the police have secured a cap that may have to do with the fire. The resident’s car would have been damaged before.
