A weekend blaze completely gutted a private garage on IJzerhardstraat on Saturday evening, October 21, destroying all stored property inside, local emergency response records confirm. The fire was first reported to local law enforcement at approximately 8:50 PM, prompting immediate deployment of firefighting teams from the city’s Centrum and Toekomst fire stations to contain the rapidly spreading flames. The attached two-story residential property, which sits above and adjacent to the targeted garage unit, sustained no structural harm beyond the severe damage limited exclusively to the separate storage space. All 15 mattresses, three e-bikes, and a large collection of assorted household items kept in the garage were fully consumed by the fire, with no salvageable goods remaining. The property owner, who was on site when the fire broke out, shared that their leading preliminary suspicion points to a malfunction during the charging process of one of the parked electric bicycles as the ignition source. Local fire investigation authorities note that a formal, full forensic review will be conducted to confirm the exact root cause of the incident, as no final determination has been issued to date. Notably, no residents, bystanders, or first responders suffered any physical injuries during the entire incident. Public utility provider EBS confirmed the residential property was connected to the standard municipal power grid, but the affected garage unit had no active fire insurance coverage to offset the total loss of stored goods and structural damage.
