The tenth day of the rescue operation in Zofiówka begins

During the most recent night, the water surface subsided to such an extent that rescue workers wearing specialist, watertight suits were able in part to penetrate a 20 m roadway and the H-2 longwall face. The water on the H-10 and H-2 roadways continues to be 1 to 2 meters deep, which impedes an effective search.

At the initiative of the City Headquarters of the State Fire Brigade in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration mobilized canine search teams. A police dog, z Belgian shepherd trained to work in water and fire brigade dogs from Jastrzębie-Zdrój specially trained to work in rubble and cave-ins are at our disposal. As soon as conditions permit, they will be brought in to penetrate the roadway.

We will report on the operation’s progress in subsequent releases.
