New Year’s Eve Fire in Amsterdam: Fireworks Blamed and Calls for Bans
A significant fire engulfed the historic Vondelkerk church in Amsterdam on Thursday morning, leading to the evacuation of nearby residents. Early reports suggest fireworks may have been the cause, rapidly spreading flames through the structure. The church, a popular tourist destination dating back to 1880, was designed by renowned architect Pierre Cuypers. The venue was previously used for concerts and events.
