“In Deventer a fire has just been given. That means there is no chance of expansion,” said the spokesperson. “We will be busy with checks of surrounding buildings and with extinguishing work for a while.”

The first report of the fire came in around 4:10 a.m. The fire brigade deployed large equipment to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings. Because they are old buildings, that was very difficult. Around 06.00 the fire spread to an adjacent building, which houses a cheese trade.
The fire on the Brink is extinguished with water from the IJssel. The Wellekade is therefore closed to traffic. The IJsselland Safety Region advises everyone in the center of Deventer and the surrounding area to keep windows and doors closed and to turn off the ventilation in connection with the smoke.
