House fire. 19 dogs and cats died

A fire broke out in a small single-story house in Jemielnica, Opole Voivodeship, at 5:03 AM. Seven fire units responded to the scene, where they found the building engulfed in flames and 27 animals inside, of which 19 did not survive. The owners were caring for stray dogs and cats, and the local veterinary doctor assisted at the site. Firefighters battled the blaze for several hours, managing to save part of the house.
