Overview

• At Pluryn’s De Beele in Voorst, a bedroom fire reported shortly after 23:00 led to evacuations due to smoke spread, with residents unharmed and sheltered elsewhere in the building.
• The cause of the Voorst incident remains under investigation, according to firefighters on scene.
• In Middelburg, a pre-dawn fire in a care-home cellar originated from a dryer, prompting an evacuation as smoke filled the building.

• In Groningen, residents extinguished a waste fire at a flat’s front door before crews arrived, after which firefighters secured the scene without an evacuation.
