The Red Cross reception center is in the heart of Bruges, in Vlamingstraat. The fire started in the stairwell and immediately caused a lot of smoke. As a result, everyone had to go outside, one person was slightly injured.
The sixty residents were unable to return last night and had to spend the night elsewhere. The Red Cross is looking for an alternative for the near future because there is also a lot of damage.
According to the expert from the public prosecutor’s office, everything points to arson. But they are still investigating what exactly happened. The fact is that the fire brigade also had to visit earlier this week, although it turned out to be a false alarm.
