Very large industrial fire Tyson foods

Oosterwolde (Netherlands) - A very large fire broke out last night at the Tyson foods company on the Houtwal.
The fire was quickly scaled up to Grip 1, a very large fire. A platoon was also quickly called up.
The fire brigades from Oosterwolde, Appelscha, Veenhuizen, Assen, Gorredijk, Drachten, Nieuwehorne, Norg, Smilde, Heerenveen and Groningen have been called to the fire.
The fire spread quickly and explosions were also heard.
The cause of the fire is still unknown. A large ammonia tank on site is cooled by the firefighters due to the risk of explosion. The fire spreads quickly and spreads to other parts of the building. Expansion is therefore difficult to prevent.
The fire brigade spokesperson reported that one or more people were present in the building when the fire broke out, but everyone was able to get out in time. As far as we know, no injuries have been reported. The fire brigade will continue to extinguish the fire for the time being.
