Firefighters in Liège spent the entire night battling a blaze that broke out on Wednesday evening at the Recydel recycling plant in Wandre.
The fire started around 20:00 at the recycling facility, owned by Renewi, located on rue Wérihet. Emergency responders believe the fire was caused by a battery.
Around 50 firefighters were deployed, supported by two officer vehicles, three pump trucks, three water tankers, a ladder truck, and a rehabilitation vehicle.
Civil protection teams assisted with high-pressure water pumping equipment, drawing water from the Meuse River to tackle the flames.
As a precaution, residents of Wandre were advised via a BeAlert message to keep their windows closed during the operation.
