The entire apartment building with 120 homes had to be temporarily evacuated, the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Security Region said. Due to the evacuation of the 120 homes spread over six floors and the rapid spread of smoke due to the fire, the fire brigade scaled the blaze up to a "very large fire" just after 1 a.m. Rijnmondveilig.nl called on people in the area to give the firefighters space for their work. Only the residents of the apartment where the fire broke out were unable to return home.
