there is a fire of some sort in the basement i think

there's "rumour" of a basement fire. Ppl are not in panic, trying to check in. One part presumable closed off.

SCHIPHOL - Het inchecken van passagiers in vertrekhal 3 op de luchthaven Schiphol is maandagavond stilgelegd wegens rookontwikkeling in een bagagekelder.

Dat betekent dat vier vluchten mogelijk vertraging oplopen, zei een woordvoerster van Schiphol.

In tegenstelling tot wat een woordvoerder van de Veiligheidsregio Kennemerland eerder zei is er volgens haar geen sprake van een ontruiming. De passagiers zijn wel geïnformeerd, aldus de woordvoerster.


translates:

SCHIPHOL

Checkin in passengers in terminal 3 on Amsterdam airport has been stopped because smoke was coming from the bagage basement.

This means that 4 flights will be delayed, according to a spokesman.

In contrary what the security officer on the airport has mentioned, there is no evacuation on place at this time.

Amber Lamps caught smuggling hashish in her purple tights.

There was some smoke in the basement where they handle the luggage, four flights will be delayed, no evacuation.

Born Dutch, not schooled there.

All it translates is the the Ambulances are on the way and roads cleared.
There is a fire in the basement Kelder is (cellar).
Yet the airport is 8M or 25 feet below sea level and has added a train station below the airport.
Where would this cellar be? Below that?
Large sump pumps must be at work 24/7.

Wait for more news and details.

SO, everyone is safe as of now? GOOD!

Got to love the Dutch. A fire in the basement beneath them and there still checking in like its a everyday occurance.

If this was in the states there'd be people screaming it's a chemical attack and sending in the HAZMAT crews as the hyperventilating passengers run screaming out the terminal in panic.

Damn that was short doom...

Sorry, no DOOM..........yet

Remember the immigrant prison that burned down a few years ago on that airport?

No biggie.

Smoke development in a baggage handling thingy.
(technical term..)

A grand total of 4 flights somewhat delayed.
No evacuations needed.

A spokesperson for some kind of safety thingy
(technical term..)
made a mistake talking about possible evac.
There was no need for that.

Basically, the smoke detectors work fine.

This was an al gayda device... they go: poof..
