More than 200 hectares of reeds had dissolved in smoke and ash in the fire at Lake Neusiedl. In addition to the species-rich animal world, some of which have lost their homes, people are also affected in the long term by forest and field fires. Because these fires release incredible amounts of CO2, they pollute the environment.
Field fires are not uncommon. Certainly not in Burgenland. In February alone, the fire brigade in Illmitz was called twice for fires in the open field. 30,000 square feet on February 21 and 10,000 square feet four days later were affected by the fire. The reed fire at Breitenbrunn, which raged until Thursday morning, took on completely different proportions. About 200 hectares fell victim to the flames. That corresponds to an area of 300 football fields.
