It is currently unclear how the houseboat was able to sink. In addition to the emergency services, grid operator Liander is also present to disconnect any electricity. A spokesperson for the fire brigade told NH.
The resident has been taken care of by the neighbors.
Houseboat remains in place
The houseboat is at the bottom of the water. It will remain there for the time being, as it is not the fire brigade’s job to salvage the house. According to the spokesperson, this is a matter for the insurance company.
The Salvage Foundation helps the resident arrange alternative accommodation and salvage the houseboat.
