Up to 15 teams with a total of 64 men from the Fluvia assistance zone were busy on Sunday evening after a double fierce showing line between 4:30 pm and 6 pm pulled the region.
The reports mainly came from southern Kortrijk, Zwevegem and Avelgem. The fire brigade asks people whose basement has been flooded to do the first work with a submersible pump, if possible. The teams are on the road, but it is often about time -intensive assignments. There are also enough sand bags available, says Francis Benoit, the chairman of the zone.
In Kortrijk, among others, people got water in the basement. The tunnel in the Felix de Bethunelaan ran under. In Wevelgem, a school of water was suffered. Streets were also flooded in Avelgem.
