A major fire is raging at a company in Boekel, Noord-Brabant. A lot of smoke is released and the fire is causing traffic problems on the N605 highway, according to the fire department. The fire has broken out at Dutch Plantin, a producer of coconut as raw material, in the industrial area de Vlonder. The fire department expects that the firefighting operations will take all day and post-fire operations may take several days. The fire broke out around 00:30 a.m., probably due to scalding, in the warehouse, where at least 10,000 tons of coconut were stored, according to the spokesperson.
