Waldbrand between Frohnsdorf and Bardenitz: fire brigade in action!

On Tuesday afternoon, July 1, 2025, a forest fire was sparked between Frohnsdorf and Bardenitz on federal road 102. The fire was reported shortly before 2 p.m. and the fire brigade is already on the way to the scene. Unfortunately, the extent of the fire is so far unclear. According to [MAZ Online] (https://www.maz-online.de/lokales/potsdam-mittelmark/treuenbrietzen/potsdam-mittelmark-mittelmark-wald- and-bardenitz-fardenitz--ty4jg7nbr4is3vwrms6e.html), however, an area of ​​around three hectares be.

It is worrying that the cloud of smoke was clearly visible from several kilometers away from several kilometers, for example from Beelitz. The police sent several strips and fire investors on site to check the Situation. There is currently no information about the affected area or the risk of adjoining areas.
