High voltage in Bruges last weekend. Not because of a football match from Club Brugge, but because there was a risk of asbestos for two days after a heavy company fire in a bicycle trade. In addition, a lot of asbestos particles were released. The municipal disaster plan was announced and in a perimeter of 3.5 kilometers, residents had to follow strict guidelines. And even though the greatest danger has since passed, a few schools within the defined zone remain closed today. “It was a rain of black particles that fell out of the sky.”
