Walloon Brabant
The Brabant firefighters have already recorded more than a hundred calls on Sunday morning since the arrival of storm Dennis, we learned from the Nivelles center in the rescue zone, especially in Wavre. Trees or branches cluttering the roads as well as tiles and various objects taken off constitute the main interventions.
Firefighters from all over Walloon Brabant have been mobilized since Sunday around 8 am because of strong gusts which blow over the province. “We have already been asked to carry out between 100 and 200 missions“said a dispatcher from the Brabant area shortly before 11 am.
In eastern Brabant and Nivelles, the number of requests is smaller. “Tubize and Braine-l’Alleud positions are less used for the moment“, we conclude at the central emergency zone.
Daniel Jonas, manager of power stations 112 and 1722 in Walloon Brabant and Hainaut, explains that a reinforced team has been put in place to take any calls: 18 people in total are at their posts.
