Three Easter bonfires in Twenterand
On Easter Sunday, three Easter bonfires will once again be lit in Twenterand. This tradition attracts many visitors every year. In Vriezenveen, there will be two Easter bonfires: one at Bovenlandweg and one at Daarlerveenseweg, behind house number 10. In Den Ham, the Easter bonfire will be lit on the meadow of the Boers family at the Mageleresch. Visitors can reach this location via the Vroomshoopseweg.
Smoke can be harmful to health. Visitors are therefore advised not to inhale the smoke and to keep a safe distance from the fire. Pay attention to the wind direction, stay out of the smoke, and maintain distance due to heat and sparks. Preferably do not wear flammable clothing, such as nylon or polyester. Keep a close eye on children, as they are less aware of the risks posed by fire. For more information, visit https://www.brandweer.nl/nieuws/paasvuren-in-twente-veilig-genieten-voor-iedereen/.
