A large wildfire is raging in the Purmerbos in Purmerend, reports the Zaanstreek-Waterland Security Region. The size of the area where the fire is raging is still being mapped out, a spokesman for the security region said on Monday.
It involves several fires. The fire is spreading over the ground, the spokesperson says. He speaks of an “intensive job”. The fire brigade calls on people not to come to the Purmerbos.
It is not known whether there are still people in the area. Everyone is asked to leave the area. A so-called drone team is present to get a view of the fire.
Several roads in the vicinity of the fire have been closed to give emergency services room. Several units have been deployed to fight the fire.
The fire brigade uses special fire whips to fight the fire. This is a kind of rake that can be used to turn up the ground to prevent smoldering fire from reigniting.
