Several people die following a fire at a construction site in central Brussels that spreads into a lift shaft, according to local authorities and media reports. Firefighters initially bring the blaze under control, but flames then spread into the lift shaft, triggering a second fire and preventing occupants from escaping. Emergency services carry out operations to access the affected area, with reports describing significant challenges reaching the trapped lift shaft. Victims are later found inside the lift. One report states six people are found dead inside a lift that becomes trapped in the shaft at the Oxy tower. Other outlets describe the deaths as “several” without specifying a final number in the provided material. No consistent details are provided across the sources on the total number of fatalities beyond “several,” the identities of the victims, or the cause of the fire. The incidents prompting the fire are also not described in detail in the available excerpts. Authorities and responders continue to investigate and manage the scene as emergency operations conclude.
