On Sunday evening, a fire broke out in the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, which left no one hurt but did render the property temporarily uninhabitable.

At around 21:40, the Brussels Fire Brigade was called to a single-family house when flames engulfed the bathroom on the second floor of the home.

Thankfully, the inhabitants – a family of five – had already moved themselves to safety by the time fire services had arrived.
