“It was a very strange situation because after a few minutes a large area was engulfed in flames”declared Mariusz Feltynowski, commander of the fire services.
However, the uniformed man did not want to make conjectures about the cause of the conflagration, and indicated that the investigations should be carried out by the Police.
“Our experience shows that the fire broke out in several places at the same time over a large area. Perhaps the accumulation of materials, especially clothing, caused the fire to spread very quickly inside,” he said.

The authorities issued an alert due to the possibility that the gases emitted were toxic and urged citizens to stay home and close their windows.
