Dirty Exhaust Pipes of Restaurants Repeatedly Cause Fires

Poorly maintained exhaust pipes of Amsterdam restaurants cause major fires, and in particular if the restaurant is below apartments or a hotel.  Fat deposits often collect in these pipes and burn easily.  Last year, the fire department was called 11 times because of such fires.  A typical case was the restaurant Snackland, on the Damrak.  In 2010, the fire caused the restaurant to totally burn down, while the hotel above was severely damaged.
