On 16 June 2026, from 10:00 to 13:00, the headquarters of Warsaw’s commuter rail operator (Warszawska Kolej Dojazdowa) in Grodzisk Mazowiecki was the site of a coordinated emergency exercise. More than one hundred participants from the Polish Armed Forces (61st Light Infantry Battalion), the local police, the State Fire Service, volunteer fire units, medical rescue teams, railway staff and municipal officials took part. The drill simulated alarm activation, area security, evacuation of endangered persons and joint rescue operations to improve inter‑service cooperation and test existing emergency procedures.

Residents in the vicinity were advised to remain calm and follow any instructions from the authorities during the exercise.
