This area of the Alre flood-plain is, for the most part, enclosed by high hedges and belts of woodland. There are just a few entrances which give some sort of a view. The English wording on the bi-lingual notice says 'Fire assembly point'. The wording in Polish is 'Punkt zbiorki ewakuacyjnej', which might be translated as 'Assembly point in case of evacuation', making no explicit reference to fire. There are other notices nearby warning the public that hazardous chemicals are in use on-site. Given the wetness of the site, I wonder whether fire is the real hazard here.
