Due to the wake turbulence of an aircraft landing at Brussels Airport, Belgium, a considerable pile of roof tiles of a house in Steenokkerzeel was blown away. Firefighters were called in to place a tarpaulin while waiting for the repair. Given the scope of the work, it was decided to bring in the GRIMP-team, a fire fighting section specialised in high altitudes and caves; the team also intervenes in accidents in rocky, difficult or dangerous terrain.
