Large barn fire at veal farm in Elspeet
In Elspeet, this afternoon (15 June), a large fire rages on a farm with calves. Several barns are on fire.
In Elspeet, a large barn fire has been raging at the Oude Hof since this afternoon. The fire brigade has come out with a lot of equipment to fight the fire, but could not prevent three of the seven barns from burning completely. The fire is now under control.
About 250 calves have died, estimates a spokesman for the North and East Gelderland Security Region. A number of calves were also injured. A veterinarian is on site to help injured animals. "As sad as it is, we are happy that we were able to save almost two thirds of the animals because we scaled quickly," said a spokesperson.
