A fire in an underground car park in the Dutch City of Haarlem broke out causing serious structural damage to the building and destroying 26 vehicles. Neighbouring buildings were evacuated as the fire and smoke spread.
The fire service tackled the blaze, eventually taking control of the flames by flooding the lower deck of the car park.
Members of the Dutch parliament are currently calling for a change in the law which would mean that car parks and other public buildings would be required to fit sprinkler systems.
