As we read on the strazacki.pl portal:

The tasks of the Fire Service include:

  • identifying fire hazards and other local hazards
  • organizing and conducting rescue operations during fires, natural disasters or the elimination of local hazards
  • performing auxiliary specialist rescue activities during natural disasters or the elimination of local hazards by other rescue services
  • training personnel for the needs of the State Fire Service and other fire protection units, as well as the universal civil protection system
  • supervising compliance with fire safety regulations
  • conducting scientific and research work in the field of fire protection and civil protection
  • cooperating with the Head of the National Criminal Information Centre to the extent necessary to perform his statutory duties
  • cooperating with the fire services and rescue services of other countries and their international organizations under international agreements binding on the Republic of Poland and separate regulations
  • performing other tasks arising from international agreements binding on the Republic of Poland, under the terms and to the extent specified therein.

Uniformed officers also remind us that anyone who unjustifiably calls the emergency services may face arrest, restriction of liberty or a fine of up to PLN 1,500. If the offense caused an unnecessary intervention, an additional payment of up to PLN 1,000 may also be ordered.

But a false bomb alarm — pursuant to Article 224a of the Criminal Code — is a crime punishable by up to eight years in prison.

There are also so-called malicious alarms. Strazacki.pl:

  • residents of Zakopane reported fires at different houses in Zakopane six times in succession, putting all the services on the highest state of readiness. They faced up to eight years in prison.
  • a resident of Głuchołazy in the Opole region made more than 5,000 calls to the emergency numbers of the fire service and ambulance service
  • On December 26 and 27 and January 1, the fire service received three reports of fires in the village of Przędzel. The perpetrator called from different numbers, pretending to be someone else each time. A resident of Przędzel was held responsible for false fire reports in his locality. The man mobilized the fire service three times by reporting fires involving straw and a barn
  • the emergency services were mobilized. It was all because of a false report about a child who was supposed to have fallen beneath the ice. The false alarm was made by an 11-year-old girl, for whom the report was a joke.

Uniformed officers appeal:

Let us use emergency numbers responsibly!
