BRUSSELS — A deadly fire erupted Tuesday at a construction site in Brussels, killing several people and prompting an ongoing search for six workers who remain unaccounted for, according to local officials.
Bodies were recovered from one of two elevators at the site, which is part of a large-scale renovation project located on the central Place de Brouckere. A spokesman for the local labour inspection service confirmed the discovery but said it remains uncertain whether those found account for all six missing workers.
The local fire brigade reported that more than 200 workers were on the job when the fire broke out early Tuesday morning. Three individuals were transported to a hospital for treatment.
