Tonight at 9:10 p.m. on W9, the show Action Survey reveals the intense daily life of Belgian firefighters. In this new episode, the cameras plunge us into the heart of their mission: to protect and rescue, sometimes at the risk of their lives, on some of the most dangerous motorways and expressways in Europe.
At the heart of rescue interventions
In Mons, near the French border, 120 firefighters are mobilized day and night to guarantee the safety of 100,000 residents. Serious accidents follow one another, requiring emergency interventions where every second is crucial. Among the notable cases, the team was called to extract a driver trapped in her vehicle ready to tip into the void. In other circumstances, a school bus crashes into a van, injuring several teenagers – a real logistical and human challenge for these experienced rescuers.
Firefighting and Additional Hazards
The Mons firefighters are not content with road interventions. They are also on the front lines during severe fires. The teams must deal with critical situations, such as this devastating house fire which threatens neighboring homes. Their mission becomes even more complicated when neighbors report the possible presence of an individual trapped in the flames. In this race against time, each choice is decisive to preserve human lives.
Belgian firefighters face daily challenges of rare intensity, between spectacular accidents and unpredictable fires. Action Survey offers a poignant immersion into the heart of their daily lives this evening at 9:10 p.m. on W9. An evening not to be missed to understand the challenges and sacrifices of these shadowy heroes.
