Next to the Statendamweg in Oosterhout, a large mountain of cuttings has been on fire since Thursday night. That mountain would be thirty by sixty meters in size and an estimated at least eight meters high.

The fire was discovered around five in the morning. The company, where the mountain of cuttings was, was closed at that time. The fire brigade, which is present with several cars, suspects that the fire was created by heating.

The company where the fire is raging uses a tap to pull the cuttings apart. The fire brigade expects to spend a while busy.

The smoke causes no inconvenience.
