A riding school in Groot-Bijgaarden, outside Brussels, has been completely gutted by fire following a devastating fire overnight. The fire raged with great intensity. Fire experts believe that this is a case of arson.

The woman who runs the tavern on the riding school estate first noticed the blaze at around 10:30PM and immediately alerted the emergency services.
