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. They used special equipment to clear the smoke and checked for carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous. Once it was confirmed that the levels were safe, all evacuated residents were allowed to return home. The investigation revealed that the fire was accidental, with no foul play involved. Because of the quick response of emergency services and the cooperation of residents, there were no serious injuries or significant damage beyond the fire’s immediate area.
