Neighbor rescues family from home after Purmerend explosion: “The youngest was completely burned”

The Purmerender has the boys with burns put in the shower. The police have now announced that the victim is seriously injured, but out of danger.

Adamus is very affected by what he has experienced. This morning he came to take a look in his street, at his destroyed house. “Our passports are still inside. And my wife would fly to Curaçao tomorrow. I hope this will still work out.”

His family spent the night in a hotel, just like other neighbors from the row on Maasstraat. A total of five houses have been declared uninhabited.

The police assume that it is a deliberate action on someone from the family. Neighbors endorse this scenario.

Several people tell NH that they have recently reported nuisance around their home.

Previous explosion at home

A month and a half ago, an explosive device also went off at the house: heavy fireworks. This did not lead to a fire or report to the police, neighbors say.

Christmas lights are still on at the affected home behind the fence. There is a snowman at the front door. In addition, the door is finished with wooden planks.

The police are looking for witnesses who saw something in the street between 3:00 am and 5:30 am.
