In an ironic twist of fate, a major fire recently broke out in the Netherlands. The blaze occurred in a factory that specializes in making fire lighting blocks for outdoor activities like campfires and barbecues. The name of the business is reported to be "Fire-up".

Massive flames shot up from the building and black, billowing smoke clouds made their way to the sky. It was clearly seen that the fire had destroyed the roof.

Firefighters had a very rough time extinguishing the flames. It took several hours to get the fire under control, but it was still throwing out huge volumes of smoke.

Fortunately no one was injured in the blaze. However the factory was significantly damaged. In the end, only one wall remained.

There is limited information on the source of the fire. It remains unknown how the fire started and where in the building it originated from. According to city authorities in Oisterwijk, the blaze is currently under investigation.
