On the environment on the Smederijstraat in Baarle-Nassau a chemical reaction was created in a container on Thursday afternoon. The fire brigade is present with several cars and performs measurements.
Employees saw an orange cloud from an ASP container and then called in the emergency services. ASP containers are used to safely store and transport substances.
The environment is closed and local residents must keep their windows and doors closed. The fire brigade is present with three cars and the firefighters wear masks.
According to an employee of the environment ‘the situation is quite serious’, because it is an ASP container: “It may not be opened by us. We also do not know what is in it.”
