Firefighters Still Hours Away from Extinguishing Large Manure Pile Fire
Firefighters in Abcoude are continuing to extinguish a fire in a 1,000 cubic meter manure pile near a residential farm. The Veiligheidsregio Utrecht spokesperson stated that the operation, which involves dismantling the pile with a crane, is expected to last until afternoon. Although thick, smoky odor reached areas including Amsterdam and Diemen, measurements confirmed the smoke poses no danger. Residents were advised to keep windows and doors closed. The fire started around 05:30, prompting a response from multiple units, though only Utrecht-based crews remain on site.
