The staged rescue operations have always attracted visitors' interest - this time a teddy bear injured in the accident was saved. Grot, Kokos, Dante, Sigma and Ares boasted their skills - these are the rescue dogs from voluntary service brigade OSP Nowy Sacz. The Municipal Headquarters and Provincial Headquarters of the State Fire Service from Kielce staged a road accident rescue - the wounded were freed from the car with the use of heavy duty equipment. There was an important point on the agenda - all firefighters had the chance to take part in a drill. And indoor fire simulator was made available by OLC Fire.
