Warehouse fire in Vleteren | Focus and WTV

After the fire brigade of the Westhoek zone at a quarter to seven received a call for a fire in Zarren, a second call came in at 19:07 not much later for a shed fire in the Nieuwstraat in Westvleteren. Here too, the fire was brought under control fairly quickly and the adjacent stable could be saved.

The shed filled with straw burned down completely. Because there is a suspicion of asbestos in the affected area, a “hazardous materials team” was asked on site to decontaminate the intervened firefighters.
