A fire has broken out at the WB Electronics factory in Skar\u017cysko-Kamienna, Poland. The police have not ruled out arson, and the Internal Security Agency has been called in to assist with the investigation. The company manufactures components and systems for drones, and its drones are used, amongst others, by the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n
Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n The fire service received a report of the fire shortly after midnight on the night between Sunday and Monday. The fire broke out in a production and storage building.<\/p>\n Rescue workers cut off the power supply, put out the fire and ventilated the building. A spokesperson for the local State Fire Service Rafa\u0142 Maciejczak<\/strong> He said that the operation lasted about two hours.<\/p>\n During the operation, firefighters used detectors to check the site for hazardous substances. No one was injured in the fire; one room was destroyed.<\/p>\n Police officers are at the scene and are carrying out a search using a drone fitted with a thermal imaging camera. A spokeswoman for the district police headquarters Anna Slavinska<\/strong> stated that one possible cause of the fire could have been arson.<\/p>\n Spokesperson for the coordinator of the Polish security services Jacek Dobrzy\u0144ski<\/strong> He described the case as a priority and urged people to verify information due to the risk of fake news. The Internal Security Agency is also investigating the circumstances of the fire.<\/p>\n The publication *Fakt* reported that, when contacting the police, details were provided regarding the activation of an alarm system, which indicated an attempted break-in. Journalists also reported, on an off-the-record basis, about a man wearing a balaclava who was allegedly captured on CCTV, as well as a rucksack and outerwear found near the premises. This information does not constitute the findings of the investigation.<\/p>\n WB Electronics is regarded as Poland\u2019s largest privately-owned defence company. It manufactures state-of-the-art drones<\/a> for the army; the Ukrainian army uses its reconnaissance UAVs and kamikaze drones.<\/p>\n\n
