UPDATE | Business premises in Almelo completely destroyed by fire, post-extinguishing will take hours

According to a spokesman for the fire service, about fifty firefighters were busy fighting the fire. Drone Argus was also deployed. By flying the drone above the burning building, the fire brigade had a better overview. “This allows us to map out the so-called hotspots better,” said the fire service spokesman. In this way, more targeted extinguishing could be done, which can help with the speed with which the fire can be brought under control by the fire brigade.
