The messages around forest fires have no end. An area of approximately 2100 hectares is currently burning in East Germany. The extinguishing work is made more difficult due to the ammunition pollution in the area and the wind. More than 550 emergency services fight against the flames.
In the Gohrischheide on the border between Saxony and Brandenburg there is a fire on an area that is about half the size of Eisenstadt. This was the result of the evaluation of the current satellite images and the further situation assessment, as the district office in Meißen announced on Saturday evening.
The emergency services in the landscape protection area are fighting the flames since Tuesday. Above all, the location on the Saxon side remains tense. Time and again the firefighters have to fight against flaming FOCI. The situation in the village of Jacobsthal is still precarious, where the helpers have created extra protective comics around the houses with a planner and other heavy technology. The village of Jacobsthal Bahnhof was evacuated as a few others in Saxony.
Various organizations in action
On Sunday, according to the Saxon authorities, more than 550 troops from the Fire Brigade, Technical Relief Organization, Bundeswehr, police and other organizations with a maximum of 140 vehicles were used for fire fights. Bundeswehr and the federal police supported the police with water cannons with flowering helicopters.
Remove from ammunition pollution
The helpers make the always refreshing or rotating wind. The extinguishing work is also made more difficult by the ammunition tax in the area in which military training areas were used. For this reason, for example, for safety reasons, for example, can only be removed from vehicles and not with floor tips.
On the other hand, the situation is largely relaxed on the Brandenburg side of the Gohrischeide. It has been prevented from skipping the fire so far. In another fire brigade area near Gösselsdorf in the Thuringian district of Saalfeld-Rudolstadt, the fire brigade could prevent the spread for the time being.
