Dutch data center fire under control as initial inspection finishes
"What began as a GRIP 2 situation on Wednesday and dropped to GRIP 1 in the evening was further downgraded to GRIP 0 during the night of May 7-8. This means that emergency services have the situation fully under control and the building has been partially reopened."
"Last night, NorthC's teams conducted the first inspections. The findings are relatively positive. Smoke development in the server rooms remained limited. The fire separation in place did its job and prevented further spread throughout the building."
"Meanwhile, NorthC's teams are working on setting up external emergency power supplies. The goal is to restore customer equipment as quickly and safely as possible. No exact recovery time has been communicated yet."
"Yesterday's fire had far-reaching consequences for numerous organizations, from the Chamber of Commerce to Utrecht University (UU). UU will keep its doors closed on Friday and experienced outages of its network, applications, and even access passes on Thursday."

Emergency services have the situation fully under control, and the building has been partially reopened. First inspections by NorthC teams found relatively positive results, with limited smoke development in server rooms. Fire separation prevented further spread throughout the building.
