Heroic Young Men Rush into Burning Brussels Building, Save Sleeping Residents

The courage of Younes (26 years old), Imad and the second Younes, aged 20, saved the lives of the residents of a burning building. The fire, according to the police, broke out at night on June 27 and quickly spread to the ground floor shutters and the facade itself, releasing a lot of smoke.

While calling the emergency services, the building’s caretaker was joined by three young men, who without hesitation, rushed into the building to try to evacuate the sleeping residents who had no idea of the danger threatening them.

After managing to get all the residents out of the building, the three young men then stopped several motorists to use their fire extinguishers to prevent the fire from spreading further. The firefighters and the police will later take over and manage to bring the fire under control around 3:40 in the morning, reports bx1.

The first elements collected by the federal laboratory would show that the fire is of a criminal nature. An investigation has been opened to shed light on this fire that could have caused enormous damage and loss of human life, if it were not for the courage of Imad and the two Younès.

In a statement, the police saluted "the courage of the three heroes, their responsiveness and their composure have very likely saved the lives of six people including a young child."
