Overview
- A centuries-old thatched farm on the West-Vlisterdijk in Vlist was completely destroyed by a large blaze and the owner was not at the property and is in hospital.
- Fire crews worked for hours to contain the Vlist fire and to keep flames from spreading to an adjacent house, but little remains of the home and stable.
- Police found possible prohibited items, including items described as possible weapons, after a fierce ground-floor flat fire in Harderwijk and have opened further inquiries.
- A parked car on the Veerlaan in Rotterdam-Katendrecht was badly damaged by fire and the cause is under police investigation while investigators examine the scene.
- Officers intervened in Puttershoek over serious fireworks nuisance, arresting one 20-year-old and issuing eight fines, and they warned of continued strict enforcement as communities recover.
