An electrical fire broke out at Via Aquarium in Rotterdam, causing the business to close indefinitely. The fire was contained to one section and quickly extinguished with no injuries to staff or animals. The animals were able to stay in their exhibits and did not need to be moved. The business will remain closed until inspections are completed to ensure the building systems are functioning properly.
