The drought is a warning sign because many regions in Germany are faced with an increased risk of fire. Although no above -average number of surface fires have been recorded, further incidents are expected in summer.

statistics on the risk of fire

In addition to the current incidents, the fire protection situation in Germany raises a total of some questions. According to Feuertrutz.de there are no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics for the entire country. Statistical data on fires, causes of fire and the associated injuries and deaths are sparse. Regular updating of these statistics could help improve fire protection measures and better inform the population.

The various statistics collected by various institutions illustrate the need for improved fire protection. Fire brigade reports, for example from the German Fire Brigade Association, and the statistics of the Federal Statistical Office offer an overview of the fire events in Germany and their course. Ironically, the current increase in surface fires could also be connected to the climatic changes and the associated extreme competitions. Increased vigilance and preventive measures are therefore essential.
