On 26 November at around 4:00 a.m., a fire broke out on the ground floor of a four-story building on Violetstraat in Brussels.

Firefighters acted quickly to stop the fire and brought it under control in a short time. Despite the heavy smoke, no serious injuries were reported. Eleven residents were checked for smoke inhalation and three needed oxygen treatment. No one required hospitalization.
