Fire at Den Bosch station shop

A fire broke out early Tuesday in the cooling system beneath the counter at a Döner Company shop on Stationsplein at Den Bosch station. Emergency services cordoned off part of the square, while smoke was cleared from the station and fire alarms at several locations were being switched off.

Train and bus services were not affected. The fire also damaged the Albert Heijn above the shop; both businesses are expected to remain closed for the rest of the day. It remains unclear whether they can reopen on Wednesday, when carnival-season celebrations are due to begin in Oeteldonk.
