On Wednesday evening, 22 July, a fire in a building used by Aéro Services, just next to Liège Airport’s main terminal broke out. Smoke emissions were very important as seen in the following footage:

 

Fire fighting services rushed to the scene but according to the first statements no toxic fumes emitted from the fire. Nobody got injured, one aircraft was pulled out of the hangar. Unfortunately, one aircraft (registration currently unknown) got destroyed in the flames.

During the fire, the airport was still open for operations. It was, however, up to the pilots to land as the firefighters were still busy fighting the fire.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
