It was around 7.45 am that the fire brigade was called to a spouting fountain several meters high at the intersection with Keizersplein and Zonnestraat. The fire brigade could do little to stop the leak, but they did place sandbags against the facade of a real estate office to prevent water from entering the building. It is not clear how the leak occurred. The fountain was visible for more than an hour. The water company is aware and is investigating the cause of the leak.
