A fire which broke out on Monday evening left considerable damage to a milling workshop in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht. The Brussels Fire Brigade has since confirmed that no one was injured.
Firefighters were called to the workshop when one of the machines caught fire at around 19:45 on Avenue Raymond Vander Bruggen.
While the company's employees had already left the building, emergency services were faced with heavy smoke and smouldering throughout the workshop. They managed to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to the roof.
