UA fire broke out on Friday around midday in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht, said Brussels firefighters spokesperson Walter Derieuw. One person was treated at the scene with burns to their hands. A resident of the building was also taken to hospital after feeling unwell.
“We were called around 11:40 a.m. for a fire which had broken out in a building on Place Bizet,” said the spokesperson. Arriving on site, firefighters found that the fire had spread from the kitchen of a pizzeria, located on the ground floor of the building. The flames spread through the hood before spreading upstairs.
A person who was in the restaurant tried to put out the fire, but burned their hands. “Refusing to go to the hospital, she was treated on the spot,” Walter Derieuw said.
During the firefighter intervention, which ended around 2:30 p.m., a resident of the building also felt unwell. She was transferred to the hospital.
The restaurant is unusable, while the first floor apartment is uninhabitable. The cause of the fire was accidental.
