The fire started on Friday and was under control until strong winds on Sunday caused it to break out once more, and a VMA – important message to the public – was issued due to the heavy smoke emission.

By Tuesday morning, the fire was finally under control again.

There are only a few places where there is a slight haze of smoke, says rescue leader Christian Tys to P4.

We need a machine from the operation to lift up and stir around and wet. That's what's left of the extinguishing work.
