Homes evacuated after kitchen fire at restaurant in Nieuw-Vennep

A kitchen fire at a restaurant in Nieuw-Vennep prompted the temporary evacuation of nearby residents early this morning. There were no injuries reported, and the blaze was attributed to a short circuit in a freezer.

A kitchen fire at a restaurant located on Hoofdweg in Nieuw-Vennep forced the evacuation of several residents living in apartments above the business. Emergency services were alerted to the blaze at approximately 4:45 a.m., but no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

Following the successful containment of the flames, emergency personnel ventilated the building to clear out heavy smoke that had filled the premises. The restaurant management stated on social media that the fire originated from a short circuit in a freezer unit. While the establishment remained closed for the day to conduct repairs and address safety concerns, all evacuated residents were eventually cleared to return to their homes once the site was determined to be secure.
