Prefabricated and flexible homes have a bigger risk of rapid and unpredictable home fires than traditional homes. Sustainability measures, like flammable insulation, also increase fire risks, the Dutch Institute of Public Safety (NIPV) warned after investigating three large fires in recent years. The fire brigade endorses these findings, a spokesperson told AD.

The fire at the apartment complex on Joan Muyskenweg in Amsterdam this weekend, so soon on the heels of another fire that destroyed 75 container homes in the city last year, has left the VVD faction in Amsterdam concerned about the safety of new housing construction. “I am concerned about the way we build.
At least 20 apartments of the Amsterdam complex where there was a major fire this weekend may be uninhabitable for three years, said a spokesperson for Vesteda, the landlord and owner of the apartment complex. According to him, most of the homes on the top three floors burned down completely. Those apartments will have to be rebuilt.
All residents of the apartment complex on the Joan Muyskenweg in Amsterdam-Oost, where a major fire broke out on Saturday night around 8 p.m., were relocated in the night from Saturday to Sunday. The residents were not able to return home because of the fire. It was not until 02:30 a.m. that the fire was completely under control.
