The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 21, before 7 a.m. A police officer from the Prevention Department of the County Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec was on her way to work when she noticed troubling smoke. She decided to check what was happening and whether anyone needed help.
A car was burning right beside a residential building
When the policewoman arrived at the scene, she saw thick clouds of black smoke coming from a car parked directly beside the house. The situation was particularly dangerous because the vehicle was near the entrance door, which was the building’s only exit.
Another person also arrived at the scene and told the officer that three people lived in the house. Time was critical, and the possibility of leaving the building safely could have been crucial.

The officer called the emergency number 112 and reported the fire. She then took action to ensure that the residents left the endangered building as quickly as possible.
After making sure that the exit route was still safe, she helped the occupants get out of the danger zone. She paid particular attention to the 10-year-old girl, who was very frightened by the situation.
The policewoman made her private car available to the child so that she could wait in a safe place until the emergency services had completed their operations.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured
As reported by the County Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec, fortunately no one suffered serious injuries in the incident.
The officer’s quick response made it possible to provide effective assistance to the residents before the emergency operations had ended. This time, the policewoman, who works in prevention on a daily basis, helped in a situation involving an immediate threat, even though her shift had not yet begun.
