A small fire in Galeria Północna

A minor fire occured on the roof of Galeria Północna in the morning on May 1. Several dozen square meters of roof sheathing caught fire, and the event required firefighters to intervene. Fortunately, no one suffered any injuries and the material losses were marginal.

We would like to inform you that at the time of the accident there were about 100 people on the premises - mainly Unibep SA supervisors, security, and employees of subcontractors working on the roof and in other parts of Galeria Północna. This was only a small part of the employees working on the investment site. During weekdays, over 1,000 people are involved. Employees were quickly and efficiently evacuated from the scene of the incident, and their lives and health were not in danger. The presence of employees on the site of the investment was directly attributable to the subcontractor's decision and was dictated by the favourable weather conditions which were necessary to carry out the work on the roof.

We would like to thank the firefighters for their work and everyone who made it possible to react quickly to this, thankfully, harmless event.
