This Friday, December 20, 2024, “Action Investigation” plunges into the heart of Charleroi, a Belgian city where the daily life of firefighters is marked by relentless intensity. In 2023, these firefighters will have to deal with a staggering average of 24 interventions daily. The show is broadcast from 9:10 p.m. and can be seen in replay for free on M6+.
Belgium, faced with an alarming road situation, recorded 500 deaths on its roads last year. This figure, compared to its population, reveals a mortality rate 10% higher than that of France. Rescue teams are regularly mobilized for spectacular accidents, such as a motorist trapped in her vehicle, thrown 8 meters below into a steep ditch.
In addition to the increase in road tragedies, Charleroi is facing a worrying rise in delinquency. Firefighters are called upon for missions as varied as they are dangerous: threats of attack, vehicle fires, and sometimes blazes of considerable magnitude. The episode will highlight the perilous intervention of Greg and his team, fighting to preserve a squatted castle, engulfed in flames and threatened with imminent collapse.

Fortunately, firefighters can count on valuable support from emergency workers at the local hospital. Their collaboration proves crucial during complex interventions: pedestrians struck by vehicles, domestic accidents, or even rescues at heights exceeding 5 meters.
Don’t miss this gripping immersion into the heart of the emergency, on Belgian soil, where every second counts and where the daily heroism of rescuers is put to the test.
