The number 1722 is intended for non-life-threatening cases, such as storm or water damage that requires the fire brigade. This way, the emergency line 112 can be reserved for potentially life-threatening situations.
The easiest way to contact 1722 is via the online counter 1722.be. The request is sent directly to the fire brigade. Calling number 1722 is also possible. The call then goes to the operators of the 112 emergency centers. They first handle urgent 112 calls and only secondarily the calls to 1722. If your fire zone has its own e-desk, you can also go there.
The Interior advises you to wait patiently for the arrival of the fire brigade team and not to contact them again. “The fire brigade looks at each situation on a case-by-case basis and gives priority to those who may be in mortal danger,” it said.
