Emergency ordinance in the area where the Peel is burning

An NL Alert was also issued on the Brabant side to warn of the smoke moving towards Asten. People are being asked to keep windows and doors closed, and to stay away from the area. This also applies to residents of the municipalities of Weert, Nederweert and Peel en Maas. The smoke from the fire moves slightly over the A67, but the highway does not need to be closed yet, according to the fire service.
