Driebergen fire: fireworks storage secured – RTV Utrecht

36 people evacuated due to major fire in Driebergen

According to the Utrecht Safety Region, the flames were meters high. “We immediately started shielding the fireworks storage,” a spokesperson for the Utrecht Safety Region said. Due to water shortages, it was exciting to see whether the fire could be contained to the laundry and hardware store. Additional platoons and water transport were needed. “But when all that was in place and there was sufficient water, they were also able to shield other buildings.”
