The warehouse of firelighter factory Fire-Up will no longer return to its old location on the Nedervonder in Oisterwijk. According to the company, this was decided after consultation with the municipality. Within a few weeks, the company will announce how to proceed with the company.
“After consultation with the municipality, we have decided to relocate the warehouse at a different location than Nedervonder 13,” Fire-Up writes in a press release.
In recent years there have been several problems at the company, which did have a permit. Fire broke out at the company several times, including in 2013, 2016 and 2019. Fire-Up took several measures to prevent heating in the firelighters, but it went wrong again on Monday.

The municipality of Oisterwijk is conducting a major investigation into the cause of the fire. Mayor Hans Janssen said he was not afraid to take ‘depending on the results of the investigation, far-reaching steps in the context of permitting’. The factory could lose its permits.
It is unclear whether that is a reason for Fire-Up to move the warehouse. The municipality could not be reached on Thursday evening.
