A large-scale grass and brush fire along rail lines between Mi\u0144sk Mazowiecki and Kotu\u0144 has triggered significant delays and service suspensions, with 30 fire units struggling to contain a multi-kilometer front. <\/p>\n
A major fire broke out on Wednesday, July 1, along railway embankments in the Mazovia region. The blaze spanned a vast area from Mienia toward the Siedlce county border, affecting several dozen kilometers of terrain.<\/p>\n
Multiple fire outbreaks appeared simultaneously, consuming dry grass, waste land, fields, and a section of young forest. Approximately 30 fire brigades were deployed to the scene, with additional units requested to manage the rapidly spreading flames. Sparks from passing trains are suspected as the potential cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
The fire caused critical disruptions to both regional and long-distance rail services, particularly on the section between Mi\u0144sk Mazowiecki, Mrozy, and Kotu\u0144. Trains in transit were forced to stop at nearby stations, resulting in shortened routes and significant scheduling changes.<\/p>\n
Delays for long-distance services, including the IC Podlasie, IC Radziwi\u0142\u0142, and IC Bocian, exceeded two hours. In response, authorities implemented mutual ticket recognition between Koleje Mazowieckie and PKP Intercity on the Warsaw-\u0141uk\u00f3w route.<\/p>\n
Local officials, including the Gmina Ceg\u0142\u00f3w authorities, have warned of potential traffic disturbances at railway crossings. Residents were also urged to limit water usage to ensure availability for firefighting operations.<\/p>\n
While the fire posed no immediate threat to residential buildings, the State Fire Service emphasized that grass burning is strictly prohibited by law, carrying fines of up to 30,000 PLN. Passengers are advised to verify transit schedules before traveling toward Siedlce, \u0141uk\u00f3w, or Terespol as the situation remains dynamic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
