A barn fire on Cornelis Trooststraat in Eindhoven spread to houses on Sunday morning. They were immediately evicted. The fire broke out around 6:30 a.m. A lot of smoke was released during the fire. An NL Alert was sent because of that smoke.

The fire first spread from the barn where it started to four other sheds and then to six houses. The damage to three of these houses is ‘really substantial’, according to the spokesman for the fire service. In one of these houses, the fire would have even spread to the attic.
