The fire brigade will be busy extinguishing the fire at the building of the logistics company Vice Versa for at least two or even three days. A large fire broke out in a cold room there early Friday morning. Some local residents are still unable to sleep at home because of the nuisance caused by smoke or stench.
The city of Oss announced this on Sunday night. The neighborhood is experiencing a lot of inconvenience due to shifting winds and a large cloud of smoke. Food was stored in the cold rooms, so it will dissolve. In the meantime, the city is asking local residents with eye damage to contact their insurance company.
Neighbors of artificial grass company FamilyGrass were lucky. “If the wind had been different, they wouldn’t have been able to stop it,” director René van Hinthum said on Sunday. He was on holiday when the fire started, but he still glad he came home to help where he can.
There is almost nothing to see about their building, except for several cracks in the wall. But work isn’t really an option yet. The street is full of fire hoses and a cloud of smoke flows over the neighborhood. “So when we can get back to work, we don’t know. “
The fire started in a refrigerator about half past four in the morning on Friday. It soon became a very complicated elimination task, especially since it involved a freezer room. The temperature in the building was -20, leaving fire hoses freezing and the floor becoming slippery from the water extinguishing the fire. A fire extinguisher was used.
Despite additional units and hundreds of firefighters being deployed on Saturday, it took nearly 24 hours to bring the fire under control. And during Saturday it became clear that it would take a long time before they were put out of the fire. However, it was possible to prevent the fire from spreading to buildings around the company. No injuries were reported in the massive fire.
