On the Hertog van Beijerenstraat in Ter Aar, fire broke out in a timber trade on Friday evening. The fire has spread to several business premises. A large cloud of smoke is visible for miles around.
The fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. in the timber yard. The fire developed quickly, scaling the fire to ‘very large fire’.
The fire brigade is present with a lot of material, but more units are on their way. Firefighters from all over the region have been called.
Many explosions are heard. These are caused by gas cylinders, reports the security region. Part of the building has since collapsed. Police evacuate the area around the fire.
A large plume of smoke moves in the direction of Woubrugge. The smoke could also be seen in Amstelveen and Leiden, according to Twitter. The police advises residents to keep windows and doors closed and to stay out of the smoke.
It is not known if there are people in the building. It will take some time before the fire is extinguished.
