The fire broke out in the kitchen exhaust pipe. The fire brigade had to carry out demolition work to check whether there were still fires present.

The fire emerged from the roof and, combined with the strong wind, became a shower of sparks. It blew towards the Waterlooplein. Residents of the intermediate floors can return home tonight. A spokesman for the fire service said the damage was minor.
