Overview
- Roughly 200 residents were evacuated to the Van der Valk Hotel after a very large fire at De Leyhoeve, with GRIP 1 declared and the police mobile unit assisting.
- The blaze was brought under control Saturday evening, and by Sunday night most residents were cleared to return under supervision except those from 16 damaged apartments.
- Temporary hotel accommodation is available Sunday night, after which displaced residents are advised to arrange lodging via their contents insurance as the operator explores limited in-house options.
- Officials reported two people seriously injured and two with minor injuries from smoke inhalation, with conditions on Sunday morning not yet updated.
- Investigators point to a second-floor meter cupboard as the source, with smoke, water damage, and power loss affecting multiple homes and electrical repairs expected to delay some returns.
