This issue is intended for non-emergency interventions "when no life is not potentially in danger but a response from firefighters is necessary," says the Interior SPF in a statement. It can be composed for significant damage to the roof, for example, a cellar or a flooded public road, he illustrates.
When a life is dangerous, the number 112 remains of application.
Activation of 1722 is preventative when a storm or flood is announced. This activation does not bode the severity of the warning and the extent of the damage.
Yellow warning with strong gusts of wind
The Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM) has launched this Friday a yellow alert to strong gusts of wind throughout Belgium. A line of showers will cross this morning from west to east. In case of showers, the gusts can reach 70 km / h, or even slightly more. The alert will end around 16h.
