Let us recall. The incident occurred on the night of February 13–14. Firefighters received information about the fire after 3:00 a.m. Several units were dispatched to the scene. When the firefighters arrived, the entire roof of the large building was on fire.

The house was empty and no one was hurt. As we read on the website of Komenda Powiatowa Państwowej Straży Pożarnej w Bolesławcu:

Crews from JRG Bolesławiec, OSP Nowogrodziec, OSP Gościszów, OSP Ocice, OSP Czerna and OSP Gierałtów were dispatched to the fire. The firefighters were also supported by other services: the police, emergency medical services, the power emergency service and a waterworks representative.

As the first crews were arriving, it turned out that the building’s roof was on fire and a substantial part of it had collapsed. The crews conducted firefighting and rescue operations inside and outside the building. Water jets were deployed, and property was also evacuated.

Operations were significantly hindered by the collapsed roof, which had fallen onto the ceiling below. To reach all the fire hotspots, structural elements of the burning roof were manually removed from the building.

The operation lasted approximately five hours. (Some of the photos come from the Facebook profile of OSP Nowogrodziec.)
