Brand
FORTHUIZEN A fire raged in the attic of a house on Van den Berglaan in Voorthuizen on Friday afternoon. The fire broke out around 1:30 p.m.
The fire brigade arrived quickly. Flames came out of the roof upon their arrival. Thanks to quick action, they were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the rest of the house. Demolition work was then carried out to ensure that the fire was not in the insulation material. The Barneveld fire brigade‘s aerial platform also arrived on site and checked the outside of the roof to ensure that the fire was out.
The fire caused significant damage to the roof and the solar panels on it. It is not known how the fire could have started. The Salvage Foundation is on site to help residents settle the damage through insurance.
