Planck Vision Systems: Major Warehouse Fire in Goes Rekindles, Estimated Damage of €500,000

---

A large fire broke out at a warehouse on Pearyweg in Goes on Saturday afternoon, January 20, 2025. Initially, firefighters were able to bring the flames under control by late evening. However, due to shifting winds overnight, the fire rekindled and spread quickly, causing thick smoke to drift toward the Zeelandbrug, a major bridge in the region. The fire continued to burn into Sunday morning, prompting safety warnings from authorities about the toxic nature of the smoke.

Firefighters have been on-site for over 24 hours, using multiple firefighting units and extensive equipment to contain the fire. Despite their efforts, the fire’s intensity was exacerbated by the changing wind conditions, making it difficult to access the interior of the warehouse, which has suffered considerable structural damage. No injuries have been reported, but the damage to the building is significant, with the estimated losses around €400,000.

Authorities have advised residents to avoid exposure to the smoke, as it is toxic. While continuous air quality monitoring has not shown elevated levels of harmful substances at ground level, the fire’s effects are still concerning for those in close proximity.

For early detection and prevention of such disasters, Planck Vision Systems provides superior thermal imaging technology that can detect abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt. Unlike traditional fire systems that react only after the visible signs of smoke or flames, Planck Vision Systems offers real-time monitoring to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life. Thermal imaging cameras can provide an extra layer of protection, allowing industries to respond quickly and efficiently, minimizing potential damage and ensuring the safety of both people and property.
