Tilburg neighborhood hit by six fires in two hours

The Tilburg neighborhood of Goirke Hasselt rang in August with fire. There were six fires in the neighborhood between midnight and 2:00 a.m. on Thursday. Scooters, a caravan, and a company car, among other things, went up in flames, Brabants Dagblad reports.

The first fire was reported at around midnight. A fence was on fire on Lambert De Wijsstraat.
