Warsaw. Icicles of “considerable size” are made available to passers-by at Piękna street
By Thursday, December 22, since the first snow fell, city guards saw as many as 783 reports related to icing, failure to clear snow and mud from roads and sidewalks, icicles and snow overhangs. One of them concerns Piękna Street, where icicles hung over the entrance to the shop.
City guards admit: usually the problem is solved quickly, but the application works. That’s what happened on Wednesday, when a patrol from the 1st Field Branch received information about icicles hanging from the roof above the pavement at Piękna street. “The guards confirmed the presence of large ice overhangs on the spot, right above the entrance to the grocery store. The officers immediately cordoned off the endangered sidewalk and walked the store staff so that no one would go outside” – we read in the entrance of the city guard.
The firefighters helped
however, the standard is competitive. There was no address for the manager in the stairwell of the building. A resident of the tenement house became interested in the case, who pointed to the intervening guard of the premises of the owner of the property. “A woman in her eighties had mobility problems. It cannot be used to handle leads for the building manager.
Urgent action was needed, so officers asked the fire department for help. About 1.5 hours after the threat was revealed, the firemen successfully removed icicles, overhangs and snow caps from the roof of the tenement house. The guards restored traffic on the pavement at Piękna street and the store returned to operation.
