Zeer grote brand in natuurgebied Geffen

The fire department scaled up its response significantly on Monday evening, July 20, to a very large fire in a nature reserve on Oude Baan in Geffen. As far as is known, there appear to be two separate sources of fire. The fire department is extinguishing the blaze with many units. The area is very dry and there is a strong wind. Partly due to this, the response has been scaled up considerably. Water is being drawn from the Geffense Plas and several water tankers have been called in. The cause of the fire is unknown.
