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.
