She recalled that a quarter of an hour after two o’clock in the night, firefighters were reported in a garden fire at one of the family houses there. “The first caller said that in addition to a large amount of wood, the plot also contained various types of old and unnecessary things – and the fire was spreading towards the house,” Flieger said. units of four volunteer fire brigades.
Unfortunately, the house was already on fire when firefighters arrived, and so on, especially to protect the houses in the area. In addition, the intervention commander requested the deployment of reinforcements. This meant not only an alarm for five other volunteer fire brigades, but also the dispatch of an anti-gas car by professionals from Benešov. It was necessary to ensure a supply of spare bottles for intervention in breathing apparatus.

Firefighters used a total of eight water jets to protect the surrounding houses and eliminate the flames, Flieger said. “The fire station was divided into three sections, a pumping station was set up at the local reservoirs in Třemblat and water was brought to the place by cisterns,” she explained the tactics of the intervention.
Exactly one hour after the announcement, the firefighters had the fire so low that the fire did not spread further. The fire was finally destroyed, including the search for hidden foci and their extinguishing, while it was also necessary to dismantle the structures using chainsaws and cutting saws.

At half past four, according to Flieger, the first units could begin to return to base. However, other teams remained in place until six o’clock in the morning, when the second wave of departures took place – with a three-volunteer volunteer unit remaining at the fire station to provide six-hour surveillance.
A busy weekend for firefighters
The firefighters in Prague-East had a really busy weekend, especially due to the numerous fires in the natural environment. It was necessary to eliminate the forest fire during Saturday and Sunday at night near Sibřina – and especially near Velké Popovice, where the second stage of the fire alarm was also announced due to the need for more massive forces and deployment. Ten units gathered here on the forest plot near the settlement of Mokřany, where an area in the place after mining burned on an area of about 100×50 meters; in inaccessible terrain, firefighters had to run tens of meters of hose lines.

Other vegetation, usually grass, caught fire on Saturday in Čelákovice, Květnice, Říčany, even repeatedly in Úvaly and Zdiby. On Sunday morning, the firefighters worked again near Sibřina – this time not in the woods, but in the fields: during a stack fire.

– Professional units: Říčany + gas truck from Benešov
– Volunteer corps units: Ondřejov, Struhařov, Třemblat, Turkovice + subsequently sent reinforcements Hrusice, Mnichovice, Mukařov, Senohraby and Zvánovice
