Forest Fire in Schwarzau – temporary “fire”, but the danger remains

Date:

The fire that broke out in Schwarzau in the Bergen (Lower Austria) was removed on 8 March by a defective vehicle. The risk that Sintels can ignite again. With drones and heat cameras, the entire area is scanned twice a day.

“At the moment there is only a temporary ‘brand’, on Tuesday morning District Fire Brigade commander Josef Huber explains to the” krone “. Emotional nests and underground burning rootsticks can still break out a too new fire. That is why the entire area is moved twice a day with Thosems that have been feasted with Thosems at 5 pm.

Local Fire Brigade offers further service
“The tireless use of more than 1000 fire brigade, usually from the Neunkirchen district, with more than 200 vehicles, supported by six fire brigade helicopters and special services of the Lower Austrian Fire Brigade Association, has prevented worse things,” said Huber.

The local fire brigade is currently on site. This goes out – when Sintels are discovered – with soil tools and extinguishing bags to dig and remove them. Until now it was not possible to say how long this assignment will last. “Rain would now be particularly important,” said Huber.

The risk of forest fire is huge – a campfire
Huber is shocked by the carelessness of some people. It was only during the weekend that the forestry spectacle discovered two campfires along the Schwarza. “One was prepared, a second was already inflamed,” says Huber. Unfortunately, the excess perpetrators could not be caught.

“We urgently appeal to the population, especially in forest areas, but also on the edge of the forest in order not to ignite open fire. Also do not throw a shiny cigarette plots in nature. Every spark can become a danger again, “warns State Fire Brigade Commander Dietmar Fahrafellner.
