An incident occurred in the Varėna district involving a structure belonging to Jadvyga and Jonas Kibirkščiai. The property sustained damage, with the fire reportedly impacting the building’s roof. According to the Varėna district office, emergency personnel, including firefighters and police officers, along with Varėna district mayor Alvydas Verbickas, responded immediately to the scene.
While no injuries were reported, officials stated that the full extent of the property damage remains under assessment. A significant element of the incident involved a large oak tree. This particular oak is designated as a protected natural heritage site within the district.
Subsequent information indicated that the tree had already been uprooted, with preliminary reports suggesting the cause was a storm, rather than the fire itself. The event prompted concern regarding local natural landmarks. The initial response highlighted the immediate coordination between various emergency services.
While the focus was on assessing structural damage to the residence, the presence and condition of the protected oak added another layer of concern to the situation within the district. Authorities continue to monitor the site to determine the full scope of damage to both the property and the natural heritage site.
