A major fire at the Axell Logistics company on Hermelijnweg in Etten-Leur has largely destroyed the company warehouse. Due to the size of the fire, two NL-Alerts were sent. The fire brigade scaled up because of the PET bottles that were in the warehouse. Pitch-black clouds of smoke could be seen in the area. View photos of the great fire here.
