An apartment complex in Eelde was evacuated on Saturday morning after a fire has been created on a balcony of one of the houses. About seventy students are on the street. The apartments belong to the De Campus of the KLM Flight Academy in Eelde
The fire brigade says that the building has been evacuated as a precaution.
In addition to a fire on the balcony, there was also a fire in a container that opposed the facade of the building. The fire brigade says that the fire has not been skipped inside.
When the residents can go back home is not yet clear.
Because the Groningen Airport Eelde fire brigade was called to help with the fire, a Transavia plane could not land. After several laps, the device has landed.
