Vacant city building in Kortrijk severely damaged by overnight fire

A vacant building in Kortrijk was severely damaged by a fire late Friday night, with no injuries reported. The fire likely started around 1:30 AM on the upper floor and roof, causing the roof to collapse. Firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings, although one did sustain minor damage. The cause of the fire is still unknown, and an investigator has been appointed, but the collapsed roof complicates the inquiry. There are indications that unauthorized individuals may have been in the building, but this is under investigation. The building is owned by the city of Kortrijk, which plans to redevelop the site in the future.
