The FPS Interior activated the number 1722 on Saturday. It is intended for people who need the assistance of the fire brigade due to damage caused by a storm and water damage.
The Royal Meteorological Institute issued a warning for the whole country on Saturday afternoon due to sometimes intense rains which will fall on Belgium until Sunday evening. The wind will also be quite strong at the Coast on Sunday, with gusts of up to 90 km/h. In the event of damage requiring the intervention of the fire brigade, citizens can contact the electronic counter 1722.be or telephone the same number.
For situations where a person’s life is in danger, the number 112 prevails. Emergency call center operators handle calls to 1722 on separate telephone lines from those to 112 so that they can handle the most urgent calls to 112 first, such as those for people having a heart attack or whose home is on fire, explains the FPS Interior.
