Heavy house fire in Herderstraat in Kortrijk

The fire brigade of the Fluvia zone is on site. But due to the intensity of the flames, she scales up the fire. Which means that extra help is called for. Police and ambulances are also on site.

The Herderstraat is located in a residential area, not far from the Astrid Park. The fire is said to have started at the rear of a car wash. (Read more below the photos)

Dense residential area makes extinguishing fires difficult

Because the house is located in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, extinguishing the fire was not easy. But after an hour the fire brigade had the fire under control. The house is completely burned out. The building next door also suffered damage.
