The Brussels fire brigade therefore takes the facts seriously. “At around 0.30 am, one of our ambulances was on its way as a priority vehicle to an urgent intervention in Ganshoren when an object was suddenly thrown at the vehicle at Keizer Karellaan,” says fire brigade spokesman Walter Derieuw. ‘It was a paint spray can that was thrown from the balcony or from the window of a house. The impact has cracked the ambulance’s windshield and has to be replaced, and there is a dent in the hood. ‘

The ambulators were unharmed, but they are impressed by the event, according to the fire service spokesperson: ‘They do not understand that they, as a rescuer serving the population, have fallen victim to such a senseless act. The police of the Brussels West zone came to the scene to make the necessary findings and to record the complaint. The management of the Brussels fire brigade strongly condemns this event and will in turn file a complaint and, if possible, take civil action. ‘

Another ambulance was sent to the initial caller’s sick bed and that person could be taken to hospital without further delay, the fire service spokesperson added.
