Fire spreads from kitchen to attic of Młyn restaurant in Bytów, no one injured

Fire in the kitchen and attic

Firefighters were sent to the Młyn restaurant on ul. Wolności in Bytów, Pomeranian Voivodeship, on Sunday, 25 October 2026. The emergency call came in shortly before noon and reported a fire in the kitchen. The flames quickly reached the attic of the building, and two people who were inside got out before the fire service arrived. The restaurant has a local profile, as Magda Gessler visited it in 2019 for the television show Kitchen Revolutions.

Firefighting and injuries

At the peak of the operation, 17 fire crews were on the scene. Rescuers also had to carry out demolition work, including on the roof, to reach hidden sources of fire, Super Express reported. Dawid Westrych, spokesman for the Pomeranian unit of the State Fire Service, described the situation at the site.

The situation is under control. For over an hour, the fire has not spread.

Water was still being poured onto the building and the remaining embers were being put out. The fire service said nobody was injured. RMF FM, however, reported that 40 firefighters were fighting the blaze and that one of the two people who left the building may have inhaled smoke, a claim that sits uneasily with the fire service's statement.

Road closure

The Gdańsk branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways closed ul. Wolności, part of national road 20, between the roundabout at ul. Dworcowa and ul. 1 Maja. Police are directing drivers onto detours through local streets. RMF FM noted that the road links Miastko and Kościerzyna, so drivers should expect serious delays.
