In Plungė, firefighters went to a kindergarten, where icicles hung dangerously from the roof of the building. Firefighters broke dangerous chunks of ice.
“By monitoring the weather, we believe that quarantine restrictions have helped prevent other disasters. Usually in that weather, groups of fishermen would gather near bodies of water. Now, despite the bans, they avoided going to the lagoon. Therefore, there were no reports of disasters. Only one report of broken ice was received. In the district of Skuodas, a four-wheeler broke into the pond, but did not suffer, “said Aurelija Maslauskienė, representative of the Klaipėda Fire and Rescue Board.
The cold is reported to have claimed the lives of eight people in Lithuania over the weekend.
