A lot of smoke emerges during a big fire in Gorinchem Now

In a commercial building on Marconiweg Street in Gorinchem, a big fire broke out in the night from Wednesday to Thursday. In addition, a large amount of smoke is released that goes to the A15 motorway.

This is what reports the Zuid-Holland-Zuid security region, which warns us to stay out of the smoke. Due to the presence of gas cylinders in the building, the fire department attempts to extinguish the fire from a distance.

The fire was reported around 1:30 am and the firefighters were quickly turned into a "very big fire". Many units, fire trucks and a basket were used. There are also measurement teams that analyze smoke for harmful substances and map the spread. The smoke brings a lot of stench with it.

The building on Marconiweg Street is a storage and transportation company located near a service station. According to the fire department, there is no risk that the fire will spread to the pumping station. "In the meantime, the fire is reasonably manageable," said a spokesman. "But the building is completely on fire and several cars inside were burned."

The adjacent building was temporarily evacuated as a precaution. The mayor of Gorinchem, Reinie Melissant, is on site and has spoken to the affected owner and the evacuated residents.
