In the early hours, firefighters were dispatched to police stations in the municipalities of Kaišiadorys and Jonava, located in the Kaunas region of Lithuania. Their assistance was required to cut through the metal bars of holding cells with a disk cutter. This unusual request highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in dealing with emergencies that extend beyond their usual scope of work.

The intervention by firefighters illustrates the cooperation between emergency services in Lithuania, where multiple agencies often need to collaborate to address urgent situations. The presence of firefighters at police stations is not a common occurrence and suggests that there may have been a pressing issue requiring immediate resolution, such as a detainee needing medical attention or an escape attempt.

This incident may prompt discussions about the adequacy of facilities and equipment at police stations regarding detainee safety and security. Given the nature of the incident, further investigations may be warranted to determine if protocols are in place to handle emergencies within detention facilities effectively.
