The Brussels Fire Brigade was informed of a fire in a discotheque at Avenue Louise in Ixelles at 17:30 on Saturday afternoon. There were no injuries and the exact cause of the fire is still unclear.
The fire was located in the annexe of a building that also housed a residence and a restaurant.
"The residence and restaurant will require some cleaning up, but they suffered little damage and are still fully usable," said fire brigade spokesperson Walter Derieuw. "The disco is completely unusable."

A firefighter fell down during the extinguishing works and suffered minor injuries, but he can continue his service, the spokesman said. It was initially feared that two people had gone missing, but it turned out not to be the case and the building was empty during the fire.
