It is not the only incident that the emergency services were busy with in De Ronde Venen tonight. In Vinkeveen, the emergency services were called because a man was standing at a height. Among other things, a height rescue team from the fire brigade was sent to the village. The man eventually came down on his own, according to police. The deployment of the emergency services was then quickly scaled down. Around the same time there was also a gas leak at the Klijne Meer in Vinkeveen. The fire service was also deployed here.
