The volunteer firefighters emphasize:

In 2020, our unit was one of the few in the county not to record a single failure to respond to an incident despite being dispatched.

They add:

The average departure time for our crews was 3 minutes, compared with 4 minutes for crews in Bolesławiec Municipality and 5 minutes in Bolesławiec County.

Our crews were dispatched to rescue and firefighting operations 120 times in total:

  • 409 D 17 GBA 2.5/16 Mercedes Atego – 101 times;

we managed to complete several renovation and modernization projects at our fire station and for our emergency vehicles, and acquire numerous pieces of rescue equipment and personal protective equipment. We sincerely thank all of the people and institutions mentioned for this.

What was not accomplished?

The firefighters say: “Unfortunately, because of the ongoing epidemic, which has also affected us so painfully, we were unable to carry out many of our plans: firefighting training for our female and male volunteers, the organization of the ‘5th Open Fire Station Day,’ the participation of our younger colleagues from the Youth Firefighting Team in the National Firefighting Knowledge Tournament and the County Youth Firefighting Team Competition, planned first-aid training for children and young people at primary schools, and many other activities.

The uniformed members sum up:

We very much hope that this strange and extremely difficult time for all of us will soon pass and that we will finally return to normality.

We wish you, above all, a healthy New Year 2021, but also a safe one. May we not have to meet you only during our interventions, but instead only in pleasant and joyful circumstances.
