Massive warehouse in flames in Moerkapelle as snow falls

A large warehouse on Herenweg in Moerkapelle was engulfed in flames Sunday afternoon, with smoke visible for miles around, according to local authorities. The fire broke out around 4:15 p.m., and the building was quickly fully ablaze, AD reports.

Firefighters responded with multiple fire engines and a high-rise platform, using a high-pressure water stream from above to fight the fire. Images from the scene show crews battling the fire as snow falls. Police have cordoned off the surrounding streets.

In a separate incident, authorities reported another major fire in Noord-Brabant. Details on casualties or damage in either incident have not yet been released.

Police confirmed that investigations into the cause of the Moerkapelle fire are ongoing. Officials urged residents to avoid the area and follow local safety instructions.
