Emergency Response
firefighters from 24 separate units responded to the blaze in Nowy Konik, which threatened 3 hectares of forest and peatland. The difficult terrain and limited road access complicated firefighting efforts.
Fire Suppression Challenges
The peat bog, which poses a special danger due to its smoldering nature, required concentrated efforts to eliminate individual hotspots.
Risk Reminders
Area residents are cautioned to exercise extreme caution due to the extreme dryness of forest underbrush. Safety concerns remain high given the current dry conditions.
