School party Emmen briefly disrupted by fire in oldtimer

An old-timer caught fire for a short time on the Raadhuisplein in Emmen tonight. The fire started under the hood of this classic 1967 Alfa Romeo.

The vehicle came to Emmen for a graduation party from Esdal College, which is being held in the Atlas Theater. It is tradition that the students are brought to this school festival in vintage cars. The fire was brought under control by the police, but the fire was completely extinguished after action by the fire brigade.

The fire in the Emmer city center attracted a lot of attention, but after a while people continued on their way. The graduation party in the Atlas Theater is also not prevented.

The fire in the oldtimer may have started because the engine was running too long while the vehicle was still standing. No one else was injured.
