Overview
- Fire on a vessel at a Farmsum shipyard was scaled up to a large incident before crews declared it under control, with prolonged damping down expected.
- Firefighters say roughly three tonnes of rope interwoven with plastic complicated suppression efforts in Farmsum, and there was no danger for nearby residents.
- A separate blaze on a converted houseboat at Museumwerf Vreeswijk started in the engine room and was extinguished, with three people, a dog and a cat brought to safety.
- KNMI issued a morning code yellow for dense fog that later lifted, as multiple road incidents and delays were reported, including crashes near Surhuisterveen, Veendam, and backups on the A12 and A28.
- Police reported multiple developments, including arrests in a Leusden robbery investigation using dogs and a drone, the capture of a minor in a bank-helpdesk fraud case in Zevenhuizen, and the seizure of Lyrica pills from suspected dealers in Utrecht.
