Friday December 20, 2024 at 9:10 p.m., Marie-Ange Casalta will present on W9 a new article from the magazine “Enquête d’action”: “Road accidents, arson: alert in Belgium! “.
Charleroi in Belgium, a daily life under pressure for firefighters: on average, 24 interventions per day last year alone. In 2023, 500 people died in road accidents; mortality 10% higher than in France, compared to the number of inhabitants.
Serious accidents keep coming and some are impressive: a woman stuck in her vehicle 8 meters below, at the bottom of a ravine. Injuries and emergencies follow one another at a frantic pace.
The city is also facing an increase in crime: bomb threats, car fires and sometimes completely out of control fires… A castle occupied by squatters has caught fire, the mission turns out to be very complex. Greg and his team will they manage to save the building which threatens to collapse at any moment?
For life-threatening emergencies, firefighters can count on the help of first aiders from Charleroi hospital. Pedestrians knocked down, domestic accidents or even the evacuation of an injured person more than 5 meters high: they regularly join forces.
Immersion at the heart of the emergency in the Kingdom of Belgium.
