A big fire rages at a metal processor on Charles Darwinstraat in Emmen.
A bump with scrap is on fire. The fire brigade has scaled up for a major fire and GRIP 1.
A lot of smoke is released during the fire. The fire brigade fights the fire with several forces.
Extinguishing the fire will take hours, according to a spokesperson for the fire brigade. He does not expect the fire to expand. The metal is between large concrete lego blocks.
The smoke is heading for Nieuw-Dordrecht. The Drenthe Safety Region has sent an NL Alert in which people are called upon to close windows and doors and to stay out of the smoke.
