Hackers of Anonymous Belgium have breached the official website of the Bree fire department in Belgium after learning that two of its volunteers have been accused of molesting a 13-year-old girl.

The girl, a member of the fire department’s youth unit, has been allegedly abused by a 24-year-old man who leads the unit. The other suspect is a 46-year-old volunteer, De Standaard reports.

Bree’s mayor, Liesbeth Van der Auwera, has confirmed that the fire department’s website has been hacked. However, she has explained that her main concern is keeping the youth unit operational.

The two volunteer firefighters have been relieved of their duty while the case is investigated.

The fire department’s website is currently inaccessible. A complaint has been filed with the police by the site’s administrator and the fire department’s chief.
