A major fire raged in a beach pavilion on the beach of IJmuiden last night. This concerns the beach pavilion Beach Inn. According to a spokesperson for the safety region, the building can no longer be saved.
The fire was reported just before midnight. The flames soon rose meters high from the building.
The fire brigade again tries to extinguish the pavilion with all its might, but there seems to be no way to save it. According to a spokesperson, the focus is mainly on protecting surrounding buildings.
It is not yet known what the cause of the fire is. The fire brigade was deployed with extra equipment, partly because of the difficult water extraction in the area.

Fighting the fire for hours
Extinguishing the fire will take much of the night. Residents of houses in the area are urged to keep their windows and doors closed due to the heavy smoke development.
It is not the first time that the Beach Inn beach pavilion has been hit by fire. The beach pavilion was also lost eleven years ago.
