Utrecht, Netherlands - January 15, 2026 A fire that broke out following a large explosion at a house in the Dutch city of Utrecht on 15 January was caused by a gas leak, officials say. At least four people were injured in the incident, which happened near Visscherssteeg, an alley in the city centre, on Thursday afternoon. Utrecht Mayor Sharon Dijksma said none of the injuries were life-threatening. The cause of the gas leak is unknown but it is not thought to have been caused deliberately. The blaze has since been put out but it took firefighters several hours. SHOTLIST Video from the scene in Utrecht on 15 January. [Credit: X/wesdewaart]
