The Schaephuysen fire brigade was immediately alerted and quickly moved out to the fire site. When she arrived, it turned out that the fire had already spread to the adjacent embankment. Thanks to the rapid and well -organized commitment of the 15 volunteer firefighters, the fire could be spread further into the forest.
