News flash: Party ends in flames
On Sunday at 3:30 pm, a fire broke out in a kitchen in a house on Westplantsoen in Delft. The fire was reported by a teacher who was working late in the school across the street.
On arrival, the fire brigade’s first priority was to put out the fire, but then they were informed that five people were trapped inside the building. The fire fighters set up a rescue mission to get the residents, who were having a party on the rooftop, out safely. Fortunately, the fire was under control before it could reach the flats on either side of the burning house.
After 4 hours of hard work, the fire was stopped. After that, an investigation was conducted by a team of police and forensic departments, which concluded that the cause of the fire was arson. A molotov cocktail had been thrown into the kitchen. No suspects have been found, yet.
