Restaurant Tante Pietje in the Korte Putstraat in Den Bosch was severely damaged on Wednesday night by a fire on the floors above. The restaurant mainly has water damage, the ceilings are hanging down. It would take months for the damage to be repaired.
The fire broke out around two o’clock in the morning in a storage room above the restaurant, which is located in one of the most famous and busiest catering establishments in the center of Den Bosch. A lot of smoke came out. Firefighters had to smash several windows to get the smoke out of the building.
Local residents in adjacent apartments on Korte Putstraat had to leave their homes temporarily. The fire attracted a lot of attention.
Explosions
Local residents heard explosions caused by exploding carbon dioxide bottles. The fire was extinguished around ten past three.
Images of the fire show that a lot of smoke is released.
Waiting for privacy settings…
