The incident occurred on Thursday evening. A farmer was harvesting grain with a combine harvester in a field in Lubków. At one point, the combine caught fire. The field’s owner noticed the flames coming from the machine. He drove his Volkswagen Golf up behind the combine and jumped out with a fire extinguisher. At that moment, burning straw flew out of the chopper. It fell next to the car. The grain and the car immediately caught fire. Approximately 20 ares of wheat burned. The car was completely destroyed by fire. One OSP unit from Warta Bolesławiecka took part in the firefighting operation.
