According to an investigative report by the AIVD, MIVD, RIVM and Clingendael, the Netherlands has a lot to fear from fire in the short term. According to them, a wildfire with 10 to 100 deaths will ‘very likely’ occur before 2028. “It is not a question of if, but when, an uncontrollable wildfire will occur, which will have serious consequences,” it can be read in their report. “It is conceivable, for example, that an area such as the Utrechtse Heuvelrug burns down completely.”
