The fire was reportedly quickly brought under control, yet still caused concern in the surrounding area. There was a lot of smoke, according to the report. “The fire department was alerted around 8:45 PM to a fire in the Arena. Several fire engines responded, and the situation was upgraded to a ‘medium fire’.”
Two fire engines were needed to extinguish the fire at the Ajax stadium. The spokesperson described it as a “small fire in a kiosk.” The blaze was quickly brought under control, but smoke remained in the corridors beneath the stands. “The fire department is now busy ventilating the area.”
No one was injured in the fire at the Johan Cruijff Arena. The cause is still unknown, as is the extent of the damage.
