This is a valet parking area for long-term parkers in a meadow near Rijsenhout, a few kilometers south of Schiphol. The owner of the site, Perfect Parking, could not be reached for comment.
Sea of flames
The fire brigade was called at around 3am. It is not yet known how the fire started. However, it is said that there are several sources of fire, which may indicate arson. Police do not want to confirm rumors that camera images show two men with jerry cans.
The fire did not go unnoticed by his neighbor Peter Dormaar. “We woke up to the fire brigade and the pops and bangs. Then we went to look and saw that the whole parking lot was on fire.”

Neighbors and local entrepreneurs are concerned and surprised. There is much speculation on the industrial estate as to where and why the fire started. “That’s a big surprise, so close to Schiphol,” said Dily, who works in the building next to the park. “I’ve never seen anything strange, and I come here at night sometimes.”
Pádraig Dormaar lives with his family next to the site and cannot imagine why a fire would have started. “There are always people coming and going who are having a nice holiday. And we notice very few of the workers. They are decent people.”
“This is a sad way to come home from vacation,” replied Martijn Renkema, an employee at the adjacent business park. Car owners are being asked to report the incident.
