Tilburg Care Complex Fire Leaves 16 Apartments Uninhabitable as Barneveld Industrial Hall Burns

Inspectors ruled 16 homes off-limits in De Leyhoeve, sending displaced residents to temporary lodgings.

Overview

  • Most Leyhoeve residents are allowed to return from Sunday evening, but those from 16 damaged apartments will be housed short term at a hotel or with family.
  • The Tilburg blaze began in a second‑floor meter cabinet, prompted a GRIP‑1 response and evacuation of about 200 people, and left two seriously and two lightly injured after smoke inhalation.
  • De Leyhoeve told residents they must arrange longer‑term accommodation via household insurance, while the center explores limited temporary spots in its care wing.
  • In Barneveld, a hall at Waayenberg Coatings was fully involved with thick black smoke visible over the A30; everyone got out, the area was closed off, and firefighters reported no specific danger beyond smoke.
  • Elsewhere, police seek witnesses after an explosion and fire at a Vleuten home, a Nieuwegein car fire that started in a Tesla was not battery‑related, a Rotterdam restaurant kitchen fire caused two minor injuries, and a Coevorden shop owner said her stock was lost after a boiler‑area blaze.
