A fire broke out on Friday evening around 8:30 p.m. at the Domaine de Clairefontaine campsite in Godarville, destroying several caravans. Firefighters from the Hainaut-Centre rescue zone arrived to find the caravans ablaze and called for reinforcements from La Louvière and the Hainaut-Est zone. The fire was brought under control by 10 p.m., with no injuries reported and only material damage. The large smoke plume, visible for kilometers, triggered numerous calls to emergency services from nearby residents, prompting additional checks to rule out other fires.

Fifth Festivan: Rising fuel prices do not deter travelers

According to Statbel, diesel prices rose by about 18% between January and June 2026. Organizer Mila Evrard says nomadic travel remains popular, noting that it would take a much larger increase to deter people. The festival attracts over 3,000 enthusiasts and features more than 60 vans. Savings come from not paying for accommodation and the flexibility to adjust routes and trip lengths.
