“It’s really a big blazing fire,” reports a fire brigade spokesperson to NH Nieuws. The fire brigade has been pulled out en masse to fight the fire. Photos show that the building has been almost completely destroyed. As far as is known, no injuries were made.
According to the fire brigade, this is a plastic processing company. “Possibly dangerous substances are also involved,” said the spokesperson. Due to the fire a lot of smoke is released, which also contains asbestos particles that fall around the building, the fire brigade warns. Local residents are advised via an NL-Alert to keep windows and doors closed.
Around eight o’clock the fire is not yet master. “But we have good hope that the fire will not spread to adjacent buildings,” the spokesperson emphasizes.
