Ypres (Brussels Morning Newspaper): On 13th November at 19:50, a mobile home caught fire near Ypres station, prompting fire crews to respond. Fire captain Dirk Vandekerckhove confirmed no injuries occurred. A suspicious person was arrested, and the investigation into potential arson is ongoing.
On 13th November at 19:50, fire crews received an emergency call about a vehicle on fire in the parking lot near Ypres station. When they arrived, fire captain Dirk Vandekerckhove said they discovered it was a mobile home, not a car. The fire had spread significantly, with flames visible through the roof.
What caused the fire at the Ypres nursing home, and how was it contained?
The fire brigade quickly worked to put out the flames and was able to control the fire fast. No one was inside the mobile home at the time, and there were no injuries or deaths. The mobile home was parked far enough from other vehicles, which helped prevent the fire from spreading to nearby cars.
The cause of the fire in the mobile home is still under investigation, but there are suspicions it may have been set on purpose. A suspicious person was seen near the scene during the firefighting efforts and was quickly arrested by authorities. Police also searched a van parked on the street for evidence or clues related to the fire and the suspect. The investigation is ongoing as authorities look into whether the fire was intentionally started and gather more information about the arrested individual.
