The aim of 1722 is to prevent emergency numbers from being overwhelmed by calls for interventions that can wait. In the event of damage caused by a storm or water damage for which assistance from the fire brigade is required, you must therefore dial this number. If a life is in danger, you should call 112.
The FPS also recommends the use of the electronic counter 1722.beconsidered as “the most direct way to request help from firefighters in situations where no lives are in danger“. The 112 emergency centers and firefighters always give priority to people whose lives are potentially in danger.
“They analyze situations on a case-by-case basis and determine who should be rescued first. During a storm or flood, they have to process many requests at the same time“, underlines the federal public service. “Be patient and do not call back to find out when help will arrive.“, he asks.
