Last night, an enormous fire raged in three sheds in Hem, North Holland. Two sheds burned down completely, a third suffered considerable damage. Wooden boxes were stored in the sheds.
The fire broke out around 12:30 am. The fire brigade arrived with several units to fight the fire. It soon became clear that there was no one in the buildings.
Sea of flames
The flames could be seen in the surrounding area and several farms had to be evacuated as a precaution. People affected by the smoke were advised to close windows and doors.

Asbestos was released during the fire, but according to the safety region, it only ended up on the fire plot. There is therefore no danger to the environment.
The fire was under control around 4 a.m., but the fire brigade will continue to work on extinguishing work until the morning. The cause of the fire is unknown.
