LTO Nederland wants to reduce the number of barn fires with the preventive measures. It concerns periodic inspections of electrical systems.
Especially older stables
The 'Building Decree' contains requirements that must make new stables more fire-safe. The focus is therefore on older stables.
With this initiative, LTO is responding to the recommendations of the evaluation report on barn fires. LTO Nederland wants to include the inspections in the existing quality systems of the livestock sectors.
Recent barn fires
In 2014 29 stables burned down, in 2015 31 and last year even 47, according to figures from the Netherlands Fire Service. A total of 370.000 animals were killed. In the first half of 2017, 18 stables went up in flames.
