Pot plantation posb. cause of raging Rozenburg fire

A fire raged in a commercial building in the Pothof industrial park in Rozenburg, west of Rotterdam, last night. According to the fire department, the fire started in a TV room on the first floor of the building, RTV Rijnmond reports. No one was injured in the fire. The fire department suspect that there was a cannabis farm in the building and wanted to turn off the electricity in the building before entering. It too some time to do this as there was no mechanic in the neighborhood. This gave the fire time to spread. Several homes in the neighborhoods had to be evacuated, but the residents were allowed to return home at around 01:00 this morning. A lot of smoke was released by the fire and the fire department advised everyone in the neighborhood to keep their windows and doors closed. https://twitter.com/JeroenKuipers1/status/567454126314115073 https://twitter.com/jeffgroeneweg/status/567422584850239489
