On Prosta Street in Warsaw’s Wola district near the UN roundabout, a Toyota passenger‑transport car caught fire, blocking two lanes.
Fire Breaks Out
The fire erupted in the engine compartment of the Toyota, which was providing passenger‑transport services. Flames quickly spread across the front of the vehicle, bringing traffic to a halt on the lanes heading toward Świętokrzyska Street.
Immediate Response
The driver managed to stop the car on the road and exit the vehicle safely. No injuries were reported, and all parties involved were at a safe distance from the blaze.
A single fire‑brigade squad arrived on the scene and applied a stream of water directly to the engine compartment, effectively extinguishing the fire and securing the area to prevent further spread.
Traffic Impact
During the firefighting operation, the two lanes heading toward Świętokrzyska were closed, causing disruptions for motorists traveling along Prosta Street. Traffic was diverted through the remaining open lanes.
