The all-clear in Dahme-Spreewald: straw bale fire without danger!

In the districts of Dahme-Spreewald and Teltow-Fläming, the residents are allowed to breathe a sigh of relief. On June 21, 2025, the regional control center Lausitz announced the all -clear for fire gases at 11:04 p.m. After a warning, this calming news came to heavy smoke development, which was previously pronounced due to a straw bale fire in Rothberg. According to news.de, the situation was classified as slightly dangerous.

The straw bale fire, which was responsible for strong smoke development, occurred on the same day and led to the air quality in Rothberg and the surrounding area temporarily affected. The original warning message for smoke was published at 9:33 p.m. Fortunately, the danger situation could be quickly contained so that the residents can sleep calmly.

another fire in Großziethen

A few days earlier, on June 12, 2025, there had already been similar alarms. At that time, a straw bale fire in Großziethen affected the areas of Schönefeld, Blankenfelde-Mahlow and Großbeeren and also led to a warning about heavy smoke development. According to sieblelt.org, this fire, which affected around 30 straw bales, was assessed with a minor risk.

In connection with these incidents, it is important to emphasize that the risk of forest fire in Brandenburg is still high due to continuing drought. According to RBB24, there is a dangerous level four in almost all Brandenburg counties, which not only makes the situation tense for residents, but also for the environment and agriculture. Dry leaves and grass significantly increase the risk of fires, and careless actions, such as throwing away cigarette butts, can quickly have devastating consequences.

precautionary measures and prevention

To prevent future fires, various measures are necessary. This includes the construction of new access routes and water withdrawal points as well as the year -round smoking ban in forests in Brandenburg and Berlin. Lager and grill fire may only be ignited in marked areas. In the event of a high risk of forest fire, forests can even be blocked to ensure the safety of the population.

The current events should sensitize us all to deal responsibly with the handling of fire and smoke. The emergency services are ready to react quickly in fires, but preventive measures are the key to avoiding such situations.
