Verzuig cars are on fire at a car breakdown on the Maalbergenstraat in Wernhout. In addition, a lot of smoke is released. The fire brigade has scaled up to ‘big fire’ and is present with several vehicles, a platform and extra water transport.
The burning cars are at the back of the scrap yard. The fire brigade has managed to insulate these vehicles, so that the fire cannot spread any further.
Around half past ten the last burning vehicles were still being fussed. “The cars must be extinguished one by one. This will take some time,” the safety region reports.
There are more than five hundred cars on the site of the company, which is about ten thousand square meters in size. There is also a large shed. According to the safety region, this has not been a fire.
