The 1722 activated
The 1722 call number for non-urgent firefighter interventions was activated on Wednesday by the Federal Public Service (FPS) Interior, due to the storm forecasts announced by the Royal Meteorological Institute.
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 call this number.
If a life is in danger, you should call 112.
