The Netherlands: Few major incidents as the Netherlands brings in the New Year

There were few major incidents during the New Year festivities in the Netherlands, with the emergency services reporting a downturn in both fires and injuries.

In Arnhem, 10 people were taken to hospital after the balcony they were standing on collapsed and they fell three metres to the ground, the Telegraaf reported. And in Amersfoort, a 26-year-old woman was seriously injured after falling out of a window, the paper said. In the Noord-Holland village of Berkhout a farmhouse with a thatched roof was destroyed by fire. Officials are unsure if the fire was caused by fireworks, the Telegraaf said.
