Video: Fire destroys Amsterdam thrift store; Dozens of homes evacuated

Firefighters in Amsterdam spent hours early Sunday morning battling a very large fire in a thrift store in the city's West district. The fire was first reported at about 12:30 a.m., with more emergency services personnel still dispatched to the scene eight hours later, the fire department said in a statement. There were no known injuries, and the cause was still under investigation. The fire was particularly difficult to extinguish because of the amount of flammable items in the shop, a spokesperson for the Amsterdam-Amstelland Security Region told the Telegraaf.Submitted by Zack Newmark on Sunday, 20 September 2020 - 09:32 https://nltimes.nl/2020/09/20/video-fire-destroys-amsterdam-thrift-store-dozens-homes-evacuated
