Shooter tower in Wetteren catches fire: major damage to various … (Wetteren)

Wetteren –

In Wetteren, the gun tower on Stationsplein burned down on Saturday morning. The wind spread the fire to surrounding houses. The roof of Villa Omaar caught fire even tens of meters away.

It is still unclear how the fire on the turret tower, a protected monument, started. Local residents suspect that roofing has been burned on one of the roofs in the neighborhood and that the outdated tower has caught fire.

The fire brigade came to the scene en masse and the police immediately closed the Stationsplein. However, they could not avoid the tower burning down completely. The Lemon Bar, which is adjacent to the gunman’s tower, and an adjoining house were also seriously damaged.

Due to the strong wind, even windows ended up on the roof of Villa Omaar, tens of meters away. That building, a growth spot for young people in difficulty, also caught fire.
