Large fire at Rijswijk primary schools
A fire broke out in a building containing two elementary schools in Rijswijk, The Hague on Friday morning.
The building is located on Willem van Rijswijckstraat - in the middle of a residential area - and contains the schools Prisma and Godfried Bomans School, AD reports. The fire is creating a lot of smoke and local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed, as asbestos may be released, according to a policeman on site.

The first report of the fire was around 06:00 a.m. Firefighters from across the region have responded to fight the fire. The fire is being extinguished from the outside of the building, as there is thick, hot smoke inside. Because there are no people in the school, the fire department considers it too dangerous to enter.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
