In Gliwice, a resident thanked the city police and emergency crews for their swift assistance to an 8‑year‑old boy with a serious illness, noting the professionalism that gave the family a strong sense of safety. On a beach in Sępólno Krajeńskim, a woman and child who fell from a SUP board were rescued after a passer‑by helped keep them afloat until responders arrived. Police from the Szczecin precinct stopped an assault on a woman, apprehending the attacker and providing medical aid. In Kołobrzeg, officers from the Szczecin Pre‑vention Unit rescued a 14‑year‑old who was swept away by the strong current of the Parsęta River during a kayak trip. Near Wrocław, teenage operators of a water scooter were saved after the craft capsized on the Odra, with police and the State Fire Service securing the scene. Additional incidents involved a capsized yacht on Lake Żywiec, sailors rescued on Zalew Sulejowski, and a overturned sailboat on Lake Powidzkie. These actions highlight the coordinated effort of Polish emergency services in water‑related emergencies.
