Antwerp (Eurotoday): A large fire broke out last night on Jan Palfijnstraat in Antwerp’s Seefhoek area. Three ambulances and a Mobile Urgency Group were sent. Firefighters used a drone to help. No injuries were reported, and officials are looking into what caused the fire.

Last night, on 4 December a large fire broke out in a house on Jan Palfijnstraat in the Seefhoek district of Antwerp. Emergency services quickly responded, sending at least three ambulances and a Mobile Urgency Group team to assist those affected. Firefighters worked hard to stop the flames from spreading to nearby homes, while residents gathered in concern.

How are drones enhancing firefighting efforts in urban emergencies?

The fire brigade used a drone to get an aerial view of the fire. This helped them locate the source of the flames and plan their response more effectively. It has been said that drones are becoming more common in firefighting because they provide valuable information during complex situations. However, the full extent of the damage to the building and nearby properties is not clear.
