Kids burn down wooden playground

A 7-year-old boy and his three friends were responsible for a fire that burned down a wooden playground in Uden on Sunday afternoon. The playground's rubber surface burning caused a lot of smoke, but no one was injured. The boy's father went to the police after the fire and told them that the kids were playing with matches under the playground equipment. According to the police, the municipality and those involved are discussing the damages.
