A fire broke out on a farm on the Weerscheut in Vinkel on Tuesday afternoon. The fire breaks out in a stable where seven hundred goats were kept. Most of them died from the flames and smoke development.
The fire broke out around four in the afternoon in an attached shed. The owner discovered it himself. The fire broke out on the right side, used as a hay and forage store. On the other hand, goats were raised and milk was stored.
The fire brigade quickly developed into a medium-sized fire and received support from the fire departments of Geffen, Oss, Heesch, Rosmalen and Erp. The fire report has now been given, but firefighters are still working for hours to put out the blaze.
There were a total of seven hundred goats in the barn. Many of them died right away. A number of the goats are still alive and have even walked outside. But emergency services assume those animals will also die from injuries, smoke inhalation and stress.
The fire caused large clouds of smoke visible for miles away. Since the smoke reached the A59 in the direction of Oss, there was a traffic jam for some time.
