We are very sad about the big fire that completely destroyed our shop on Willem Roelofsstraat, also known as the thrift store on Postjesweg. The fire started in the night of Sunday 20 September and the fire brigade had it under control by 6.30 am.
Employees and local residents
On Sunday, we immediately welcomed all employees and there was care for new workplaces. It is for the employees of RataPlan, who for whatever reason are at a distance from the regular labor market, important to have continuity and a stable work environment. That is why we put everything into action to be able to offer this immediately. The employees are taken care of in the other RataPlan shops in Amsterdam, Diemen and Hoofddorp. Everyone is guided and victim assistance is called in where necessary.
We also find it very sad for the residents who had to leave their homes and whose homes have become uninhabitable. We wish the residents a lot of strength.
Cause
Nothing is yet known about the cause of the fire. The building and installation were inspected very recently. The cause will be investigated next week.
