On Monday, October 11, at approximately 9:00 p.m., firefighters from OSP Nowa Kuźnia and two units from Bolesławiec extinguished a chimney fire in the village of Modła.
Pursuant to Article 62(1) of the Construction Law, mandatory inspections of ventilation, smoke and flue-gas ducts must be carried out at least once a year, while the chimney should be cleaned at least four times a year. This requirement is imposed on owners of single-family homes by a regulation of the Minister of the Interior and Administration. Otherwise, we may face a fine of up to PLN 500. Cleaning and inspecting chimneys is, above all, a matter of responsibility for the health and lives of ourselves and our loved ones.
