Two firefighters were injured on Wednesday in a large fire at a house in Amsterdam-West. The fire broke out in the afternoon, and the fire brigade was quickly sent to the location. According to the emergency services, part of the house was already filled with smoke when the first engines arrived.
The firefighters were brought out of the building by colleagues and taken to hospital. Their injuries are not life-threatening, a spokesperson reports. Residents of the surrounding houses were evacuated as a precaution and were later able to return to their homes.
The fire brigade has now brought the fire under control. Nothing is yet known about the cause. An investigation team will examine the house later to determine how the fire started.
