A lightning strike hit the main geyser of Wroc\u0142aw\u2019s Multimedia Fountain on Saturday, June 20, causing severe damage to electrical systems while children and adults were present in the immediate vicinity. <\/p>\n
Footage released by the Centennial Hall and the Wroc\u0142aw City Press Office shows that children were playing and adults were strolling near the fountain when the lightning struck. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.<\/p>\n
The strike hit the primary geyser nozzle, damaging the installation and burning out parts of the equipment and lighting systems. The site manager has reiterated that entering the fountain basin is strictly prohibited, noting that this rule is frequently ignored by visitors.<\/p>\n
The damage to the complex lighting system, which is essential for multimedia shows, is significant. Many devices were destroyed and will require replacement, meaning repairs may take several weeks due to the complexity of the installation.<\/p>\n
Specialized shows have been cancelled indefinitely. While daily and evening fountain displays will continue, they will operate with limited functionality until all repairs are completed. Centennial Hall officials stated they will provide updates as progress is made, while encouraging the public to use the small floor-level fountain nearby for cooling off during hot weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
