The children with their mother were taken to the Bielsko-Biała pediatric hospital. – They undergo diagnostic tests. They don’t have any fractures. You can see abrasions, also on the lips. They are severely scared and battered, both the children and the mother. Fortunately, he accompanies them. The younger girl does not exist without her. He despairs when his mother takes even one step away. It’s good that the woman is with them. If necessary, the surgical doctors will also take care of my mother – said Ewa Bachta, director of the hospital.

The seventh inhabitant of the house is a student who was at school at the time of the explosion.
Paweł Zemanek, the head of Porąbki, said that the damage was huge. The view evokes the tragic events of December last year, when a house in Szczyrk collapsed after a gas explosion. Eight people died then.
The local government official said that the commune would help the victims. Krzysztof Fiołek from the commune office in Porąbka announced that an online fundraising campaign under the slogan: “rebuilding the house after the gas explosion in Kobiernice” has started. The first payments have already gone there.
