Two years ago, also already a big fire in the building. Because this shed has few walls, the fire could spread easily. According to the fire department, it was a "difficult fire" because of the large number of fire-sensitive materials present. It took hours to turn it off.

In 2016 and 2012, a fire broke out at the Huiskes office in Tilburg. In 2016, 100,000 kilos of electronic waste had to be extinguished in 2016.
