Large fire in Abcoude, stench can be smelled in Amsterdam
ABCOUDE – In the outskirts of Abcoude, a large fire raged in a haystack this morning. The fire brigade had trouble extinguishing the fire because it was difficult to reach the fire.
The wind blew the smoke towards Amsterdam, so many complaints about burning smell came from the center and the east of the capital and around the area where the AMC hospital is located. A speaking from the fire brigade that there was no danger to the contents.
The fire raged in a meadow in the Botshol nature reserve. “That area was very difficult to reach for fire trucks that normally drive in the city,” said a fire service spokesperson. “So we have to call the logical wildfire truck from Maartensdijk.”
After hours of extinguishing the fire was extinguished by the end of the morning. The haystack was large: thirty by twenty meters. “Then it’s quite a job.”
It is not quite sure what the cause of the brand is. But the fire may have started as a result of overheating.
