A fire broke out in an empty chicken shed on Groenstraat in Sprundel on Wednesday afternoon. This is reported by the fire brigade. The smoke can be seen in the distance.
The fire brigade reports that it concerns the middle stable of three empty stables. Emergency services have scaled up and are on the scene in large numbers. The fire brigade is trying to prevent the fire from spreading to the other stables.
Close windows and doors
There is ‘a lot of smoke development’ during the fire, reports the fire brigade. In case of nuisance, it is advised to keep windows and doors closed and to switch off ventilation systems.
The stables are each about 2000 square meters in size. “At the request of the fire brigade and police: give emergency services space and stay away from the fire,” the Safety Region writes on its website.
