Both incidents occurred on Saturday, October 31. The officer on duty at the Bolesławiec Municipal Police received a report concerning heavy smoke. Municipal Police:
The patrol sent to the scene located the source of the heavy smoke. Municipal officers conducted an inspection, during which they found that wood with very high moisture content was being burned in the stove—the standard was exceeded twofold.
The offender was fined. Shortly afterward, the officers—in the same area—noticed another source of smoke. This time, it turned out that the offender was burning varnished furniture. He also received a ticket.
Officers from Bolesławiec Municipal Police:
Despite repeated information about how dangerous burning this type of waste is to health, subsequent inspections of burning practices continue to reveal irregularities in this regard.
And they add:
We remind you!!! The quality of our air—and therefore the health of ourselves and our loved ones—depends on us. Meanwhile, some people thoughtlessly dispose of various kinds of waste by throwing it into stoves or burning it outdoors.
Let us remember: We breathe what we use to heat our apartments and homes!
