When the fire brigade arrived, a lot of smoke was already rising from the apartment on the eighth floor. “When we reached the terrace with the ladder truck, the windows burst and the flames exploded,” says fire officer Ronny Cornelis. In the meantime, the other men were going up the stairs. We eventually got the fire under control quickly. The house has been completely destroyed. ”The customer review has been automatically translated from Dutch.
Just before the fire broke out, the resident had gone for a walk with her dog. “For a moment it was feared that she was still in her apartment, but very quickly the message came that she was not present. Fortunately.” Most of the building’s other occupants had already walked out by the time the fire alarm went off.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown. After the firefighting, everyone was allowed to go back inside. The residents of the ravaged flat have to find another place to stay.
