The shock is good at the Ermelijnkwartier in Cuijk. Tuesday afternoon there was a fire in the same house for the third time in two weeks. “The feeling of safety was already gone after the two earlier fires, and now one again,” a neighbor sighs.
It is busy with work buses in the hofje of the house where the fire raged. Men from network manager Enexis dig a hole in the street to close the electricity and gas to the affected house. On the house itself, the blackened windows stand out. The damage is large and the house has become uninhabitable.
The neighbor says she was not at home when the fire started. “My daughter called,” Mama, there is a fire again. ” I drove home like crazy. ” Her house turned out to be full of smoke. “I can’t sleep at home now,” she says. Schoonmakers from Stichting Salvage are still busy in her house hours after the fire.
The first fire in the house where there was also a fire on Tuesday afternoon was last Tuesday. The next day there was again a fire in the same house. “The first time it was a power outlet, then the boiler and now the meter cupboard,” says a local resident.
Many local residents are clear about the residents of the house: “They are nice people.” But it is clear to anyone in this house so often in this house.
The residents of the affected house cannot return due to the fire damage. The house is from Woonscorporation Mooiland. How it should be done with the house and the residents is not yet clear. “The cause of the fire is not yet known,” says a spokesperson. “An investigation is ongoing. We can’t say more about it yet.”
