On August 4th at approximately 11:55 p.m., a fire occurred at a residence located at Žvejų g. 15 in Palanga, according to the Police Department. The blaze originated on the balcony of the house, causing significant damage to multiple areas, including the balcony floor, balcony windows, balcony furniture, and two adjacent benches.
The total estimated loss resulting from the incident is reported to be around 25,000 euros. Authorities determined that the cause of the fire was potentially a fired signal rocket. The resulting damage impacted the building’s facade, the balcony structure, and various fittings associated with the exterior living space.
This incident follows a period of recent property damage incidents across the region, including a structure fire in Kėdainiai district, a fire at a two-story bakery in Kaunas, and other localized blazes reported in Tauragė and Priekulė areas. Legally, the Lithuanian criminal code addresses property damage that poses a universal danger. Specifically, the law stipulates that any individual who destroys or damages another person’s property in a manner deemed universally dangerous, such that it could potentially harm people, is subject to penalties ranging from a fine to imprisonment.
The investigation into the Palanga fire is ongoing to determine the precise source and accountability for the damage sustained by the house and its balcony area.
