A large fire has been raging in the warehouse of the Axell Logistics company on the Hermelijnweg in Etten-Leur since half past nine. Due to the size of the fire, an NL-Alert was sent at eleven o’clock. The fire brigade is scaling up because of the PET bottles that are in the warehouse. Pitch-black clouds of smoke can be seen in the surrounding area. View photos of the great fire here.
