Thanks to the courtesy of the Byczyna Volunteer Fire Department, we present a video of a standing grain fire near Gotartów-Ogrodnictwa recorded with a helmet camera. On Sunday, June 30, at approximately 11:50, the District Commander's Control Center in Kluczbork received a report of a standing grain fire near Gotartów-Ogrodnictwa. Due to the strong wind, the fire spread very quickly towards Gotartów. Numerous forces and resources were sent to the scene. During the fire extinguishing operation, farmers ploughed the field with tractors to prevent the fire from spreading to the rest of the grain. Fortunately, the fire was brought under control, despite the difficult weather conditions. Due to the need for a large amount of water, a tanker was also called to the scene. Approximately 20 hectares of standing grain burned. Almost 30 hectares were saved. The cause was probably a spark from a combine harvester working in the field. Teams from JRG Kluczbork, OSP Kuniów, OSP Biadacz, OSP Kujakowice Górne, OSP Kujakowice Dolne, OSP Byczyna, OSP Łowkowice, OSP Bogacica were dispatched to the fire.
