Last week five families of residents of Juodkrantė were marked by disaster – on Thursday evening, a wooden residential house located right next to the central street caught fire.
Forces from Klaipėda also arrived to extinguish the fire. After extinguishing the flames, it became clear that four families were left without a home. The owner of another apartment lives in another city.
The very next day, the local municipality announced that support was being collected to support the victims of the fire. On Tuesday, over 5 thousand were donated. euros.
Mayor Darius Jasaitis immediately informed that people will not be left without a home and that municipal housing will be sought for them. On Tuesday, two families had already moved. Another was also planning to move. Others are temporarily staying with a person. However, he is also considering settling in municipal housing.
As Sandra Berletaitė, the chairman of the Juodkrantė community, said, insurance matters are also being handled at the moment. As far as we could find out, only one dwelling was uninsured.
“Everyone came together to help – it cannot be otherwise in a small community. One resident agreed to provide premises where things will be temporarily stored. Although there is a saying about the neighbor’s house on fire, it does not apply here. Everyone here is communal,” said the interviewer.

Most of the population is elderly and has health problems.
“The cause is still under investigation. However, it is clear that it was neither arson nor some kind of careless smoking in bed,” claimed the woman from the Black Sea.
The mayor of Neringa, D. Jasaitis, said that how to help the unfortunate will be discussed at the college meeting on Tuesday. There is no doubt that the heavily burned house must be rebuilt, and funds are being sought. But more than the funds, the labor force is a concern.
“Inviting builders is difficult. Especially those who would go to the Curonian Spit,” the mayor lamented.
