Reader: “This is the kind of air people are breathing in Osła today”

A reader wrote to us this morning:

This is the kind of air people are breathing in Osła today.

And added:

A building 250 m away is barely visible through the smoke.

This is, of course, the result of a fire at one of the plants in the zone in the locality of Osła. The fire broke out on Friday, August 5, in the evening. Firefighting operations are still under way. They may continue for several more days. Once they are completed, inspectors from the Jelenia Góra branch of the Voivodeship Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in Wrocław will carry out an inspection.

More about the fire itself in the following materials:

• Major fire in the zone in Osła. Firefighters are still carrying out operations at the scene.
