Residential apartment fires in Poland and Czechia
Overview
Recent incidents involving residential building fires have required emergency interventions by police and firefighters in Poland and the Czech Republic.
In Szamotuły, Poland, a fire on Dworcowa Street involved thick smoke and electrical sparks. Police officers rescued a 68-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman with her dog before firefighters took over the evacuation of higher floors.
In Plzeň, Czechia, police used a battering ram to enter a locked apartment on Arbesova Street after hearing cries for help. They rescued a disoriented elderly man suffering from smoke inhalation. Preliminary investigations into the Plzeň incident suggest the fire may have been caused by a technical fault in an electric kettle.
