This statistic shows the total number of house fires caused by illegal cannabis cultivation in the Netherlands from 2013 to the first half of 2017. In the first half of 2017, approximately 37 fires were registered in the Netherlands as caused by illegal cannabis plantations in someone's house. It is estimated that approximately two percent of all house fires in the Netherlands fall in this category.
The damage caused of these type of house fires can be higher than that of a normal fire, as there is a higher risk that the fire will spread to neighboring buildings. In most cases, faulty electronics inside the plantation are to blame.
