Harelbeke For the sixth time in 21 years Saturday night fire broke out in the house of the family Vandemoortele, along the Vondelstraat in Bavikhove. No one was injured but there is quite a lot of damage. Father Koen is close to despair. “When will this finally stop? It seems that this house is bewitched.”
Koen Vandemoortele was out of work when in the night from Saturday to Sunday a fire broke out in a common indoor passageway between his house and that of the neighbors. That was a little after three hours noticed. The fire originated at the place where the meters of the nutsmaatschappijen and the electrical boxes of the two houses hanging on the wall. The fire department got the situation quickly under control, but in the corridor there is a lot of damage. The electrical boxes are destroyed, making the two homes without electricity. The corridor itself is scorched and black, and the escaping smoke also set up damage to the rear of the house.
