Fire ravages five cars, R'dam

A fire, that is thought to have broken out in a parked car in the Pinkstraat in Rotterdam-West, ravaged four other cars in the street. The car was parked close to the wall of a shop, causing that building to catch fire as well. The shop on the Franselaan now has severe smoke and water damage.
