Plug-in hybrid car catches fire again in Izegem after two days: “I will only go back to my apartment when that battery is gone”

The plug-in hybrid car that exploded on Saturday evening around 7.45 pm in Izegem, West Flanders, spontaneously caught fire again after two days. The Peugeot car is still under the rubble in Baron de Pélichy Street, in the center of the city. The fire brigade is back on site and has also evacuated a neighboring building after too much carbon monoxide was measured there. “We quickly fled outside again. It was scary again,” said one of the local residents.
