The incident took place on October 20. Volunteer firefighters from Nowogrodziechttps://www.facebook.com/osp.nowogrodziec/:
[...] at 6:16 p.m., we were dispatched to a backhoe loader fire in Gościszów. Upon arriving at the scene, we found the excavator completely engulfed in flames. The scene was secured.
The firefighters continued:
The firefighters, equipped with breathing apparatus, began extinguishing the vehicle using two water streams and then firefighting foam.
And they point out:
Access to the scene was difficult. The multi-ton vehicles were unable to drive along the muddy road in the forest. This required firefighting hoses to be laid out over a distance of approximately 200 metres.
The operation, which lasted just under two hours, involved the following units:
- OSP KSRG Nowogrodziec,
- OSP KSRG Ocice,
- OSP Gościszów,
- JRG Bolesławiec.
