After fireworks caused a fire in an apartment that had been tested to be safe, Brandwacht Huren was able to restore the residents’ feeling of safety
On New Year's Eve 2019, a tragedy happened in an apartment building in Arnhem. Fireworks had caused a fire in the building's entrance lobby. A family of four who happened to be in the lift at that time got stuck due to the fire and smoke. Sadly, the father and his young son did not survive this.
The fire left the residents feeling unsafe in their homes. And so, in the aftermath of the fire, the Vivare housing corporation called in the services of Brandwacht Huren in order to ensure the residents’ continued safety. It was found that nothing was wrong with the building's fire safety; this had actually been assessed and approved by the Fire Service before. The fire had been caused by fireworks that had been placed on an abandoned sofa in the entrance hall of the building.
