HORN - In a flat on the Westfriesehof in Hoorn in the night from Saturday to Sunday, a big blaze raged. Two residents were taken to hospital after inhaling smoke.
A total of five people were treated for smoke inhalation. Two of them had to join the ambulance.
All occupants of the 28 apartments have been extracted from the complex. There were between forty and fifty, according to the Public Safety. The residents stood outside in pajamas and under blankets, but were soon caught in a community center in the neighborhood.
Around four o'clock the signal "fire master" was given.
The fire raged mainly on the third and fourth floor. The complex comprises a total of four floors, with two floors. An apartment occupies two floors.
The Public Safety advised to stay indoors, keep windows and doors closed and turn off mechanical ventilation.
Research will be conducted into the structural condition of the building, the Safety says. The house was destroyed by the fire. It is still unclear whether all residents of the complex can return to their homes. ,, If people can not go back, then we look at long-term care, '' said the spokesman of the Safety.
