In the early morning hours of July 3, 2025, a troubling forest fire occurred on a former military training area at Jüterbog. But after intensive use of the fire brigade and the federal police, the all -clear can now be given. The deletion measures on the approximately 128 hectare fire grounds were successful and the Jüterbog fire brigade confirmed the fire on Thursday, as Tagesschau reported.

The surrounding enjoyment, which was supported by the increased humidity, contributed to calming down the situation. Although the fire brigade is no longer in use, there is a certain residual risk that embers could flare up again. Therefore, the head of operations and representatives of the wilderness foundation are planning a re -evaluation of the situation at noon.

There was also information about high smoke development, which led to the authorities warned of the dangers, such as n-tv Due to the high ammunition burden, the emergency services on the ground were not possible to reach the foci directly.
