A distribution center of online supermarket Picnic was completely destroyed on Tuesday morning in a blazing fire in a business building on Rechtzaad in Roosendaal. Nothing is known about the cause of the fire. The building was engulfed in flames soon after the report. There was no one inside at the time.
The detached building is located on the Borchwerf industrial estate. The fire was reported around 7:30 a.m. Part of the building has since collapsed, the municipality said. Due to the wind there is a lot of flying fire, which means that the fire brigade is extra alert to prevent the fire from spreading. As a precaution, the Westelijke Havendijk has been largely closed off. This made it difficult to reach the Borchwerf industrial estate from the A17 motorway.
From Central and West Brabant safety region let us know on his site how long this will take.
The fire brigade is using a drone to get a clearer picture of the fires in the building. A wholesaler for the fitness world and a company that rents equipment for parties are also located in the complex.
Water from the Vliet
Immediately after the report, various fire brigade teams from Roosendaal and the surrounding area set course for Rechtzaad. They are also trying to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby businesses and residences. That has worked so far.
Opposite the burning building is the Roosendaalse Vliet where the fire brigade can get water.
