Was the recent fire at the Lokeren shopping complex an act of arson?
A recent fire near a shopping complex with a Carrefour store, Brico, and Toolstation was a serious threat. The fire brigade responded quickly and managed to keep the flames from spreading into the Carrefour store. Because of their fast action, Carrefour was able to open for customers the next morning, causing minimal disruption and allowing the store to continue its operations. Both Brico and Toolstation, which are in the same building as Carrefour, were not damaged by the fire. The fire brigade worked together well to protect these stores and keep the shopping area safe.
The public prosecutor’s office has confirmed that the recent fire at the shopping complex was an act of arson, meaning it was set on purpose. Investigators are now working to find out who is responsible for the fire. Authorities are reviewing camera footage from around the shopping complex to help with the investigation into the arson. It’s unclear how many people were involved, and the investigation is ongoing. Officials are asking anyone with information to come forward to help uncover what happened and hold those responsible accountable.
