A significant wildfire in the nature reserve near Oostrum, in the Dutch province of Limburg, has rapidly expanded, now affecting approximately 100 hectares of land, a substantial increase from the 21 hectares reported yesterday afternoon. The fire, which began late morning yesterday, spread quickly due to strong winds and high temperatures. Hundreds of firefighters are working to contain the blaze, with sections of the affected area both burned and extinguished, while other parts continue to burn actively. Military helicopters assisted in firefighting efforts but paused operations with nightfall, resuming at 7:00 AM today. Residents in villages northeast of Oostrum remain under a national emergency alert (NL-alert) due to smoke, and a wind shift could impact surrounding areas. Train service between Boxmeer and Venray is currently suspended due to the fire and emergency response, with disruptions expected to last until at least 9:00 AM.
