The accident was noticed by a person working nearby, who saw rising smoke. At first, the man thought that the owner of the homestead was just burning something in the yard, but upon approaching closer, he realized that the situation was much more serious – thick smoke was pouring directly from the roof of the residential house.

The man immediately reported the rising threat to emergency services by calling 112. While rescuers were rushing to the scene, neighbors who noticed the accident acted decisively – they managed to enter the building in time and lead the elderly woman to safety, even before the house was engulfed in flames.
It is reported that the elderly woman was not physically harmed during the fire, but she suffered a shock due to the immense stress.
