SAPPEMEER - A fierce blazing fire on Saturday morning early destroyed a detached house on the Noorderstraat in Sappemeer. One of the residents was slightly injured.
At the time of the fire, the five residents were at home. Four of them remained unharmed, the fifth, who was still trying to save some things, suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital.
The fire brigade was notified of the fire at 05.20. The house was completely ablaze. Because the fire threatened to skip to the houses next to it, they had to be evacuated. The house to the left of the fire was most threatened, but it was not opened. To make sure that the residents were not at home, fire brigade forced the door. There was indeed no one at home.
The house is almost completely laid in the ashes. The outside walls are still there. The house to the left of it has suffered some smoke and water damage. The fire brigades of Hoogezand and Zuidbroek have fought the fire, whereby water from the Winschoterdiep was also pumped. At half past six the fire was under control. Whether it is a monumental building is unknown.
