In 2018, on the day of Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters, the house of musician Sebastian Bach in Batomalj caught on fire. Firefighters received the call at 20:18, and both the DVD Baška and the JVP Grada Krka responded. 90 metres (300 ft) of hose had to be laid to reach the house, but the fire was successfully localised by 21:07.[4][5]
