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. The fire quickly spread smoke throughout the building, putting the safety of 60 residents at risk. The police arrived first and started evacuating the building.

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. Fire department spokesman Walter Derieuw praised the teamwork that helped ensure the incident ended without major harm.
After stopping the fire, the Brussels fire department ventilated the four-story building on Violetstraat to remove smoke and ensure the air was safe for residents.
