The incident occurred on Tuesday, March 29. Volunteer firefighters from Krzyżowa:
[...] at 1:13 p.m. we were dispatched to a forest fire (young forest) between Krzyżowa and Gromadka.
They added:
Our first task was to “catch” the fire in order to prevent it from spreading further, and then to douse the burned area.
0.5 hectares of forest burned. Firefighters from Bolesławiec (3 units), Różyniec (2 units), Gromadka and Krzyżowa took part in the operation, as did a Dromader firefighting aircraft.
