“This followingnoon, around 3 p.m., the Brussels firefighters intervened for hydrocarbon pollution of the Molenbeek stream,” said firefighter spokesman Walter Derieuw. At the height of the avenue du Roi Albert, at the limit between Berchem-Sainte-Agathe and Grand-Bigard, an area of approximately 50 m2 was concerned.
“The source of the contamination is said to be from Flemish Brabant, but the location has yet to be determined.” The firefighters had to spread absorbent products which they then vacuumed up to remove the bulk of the pollution. The Molenbeek will be diverted to be directed to a purification station. Firefighters remained on site for three hours.
