The animals killed in the second stand set fire to Werkhoven during the week

The fire broke out in the night from Friday to Saturday in a stable, which consists of two parts, said a spokeswoman to the fire department. On one side, there were cows and bulls and on the other side, straw and tools. The fire started in the last part.

Firefighters tried to prevent the fire from spreading to the other party. In the meantime, most of the cows were safe, but some animals did not survive. The fire is not yet extinguished, but according to firefighters, the fire no longer extends. Extinction can take hours. A crane arrives at the scene to get to the fire house.
