The incident occurred on Saturday, August 10, in the afternoon, at Bolesławiec’s Market Square. Smoke was coming from an apartment in one of the tenement buildings. Emergency services were called to the scene.
Firefighters forced their way into the apartment. It turned out that a towel in the kitchen had caught fire from a candle. Fortunately, the fire did not have time to spread.
A 52-year-old woman was in the apartment at the time. She did not notice the fire because… she had fallen asleep.
The woman from Bolesławiec was injured. She was taken to hospital. Fortunately, however, she did not suffer anything more serious.
