Castle imposed on the ban on bonds due to the risk of forest fire!
Burg, Deutschland - The city of Burg has now prohibited access to the “citizen of wood” with immediate effect. This measure takes place on the basis of the current forest fire theater level 5, which was shown by the German Weather Service and the Ministry of Environment Saxony-Anhalt for the Jerichower Land district. Now it's called "Fingers away!" From the forest areas to ensure the safety of the residents and visitors. According to [MeetingPoint] (https://meetingpoint-jl.de/neuke/artikel/200241-buergerholz-voruber, fiery-and-a-hoechest forest fire) can be sufficient such as broken glass or hot vehicle parts to ignite a devastating fire.
In these conditions, forest fires spread rapidly, especially in dry weather and wind. The city is legally obliged to act to protect people. The decision to pronounce the ban on entering is therefore not to be regarded as a defeat, but rather as a precautionary measure for everyone who could be in the area. "I am not enough if we only talk about dangers. We have to act!" Explained a person responsible for the city of Burg.
temporary ban on entering
The ban applies until the end of this dangerous Situation, but at the latest until September 30, 2024. Handling trees on the access to the citizens of wood have already been closed to identify the measure. Exceptional permits receive justified persons from the danger defense authorities such as the police and fire brigade as well as hunting tenants and forestry offices. It is important to emphasize that the city not only has to react to the current risk of forest fire, but also to previous incidents. So there was a forest fire in Burg recently that was quickly brought under control.
The decision to block also is based on the knowledge that in the "citizen wood" sometimes still stored ammunition residues from the Second World War. In the event of a fire, these could be dangerous and cause explosion -like damage. The City of Burg underlines that this thorough caution is not exaggerated, because the risk of forest fires can lead to critical situations in this period in which the safety of people is at stake.
climate change and the risk of forest fire
The increasing risk of wood and forest fire can also be explained by the global climate changes. According to Statista, increasing temperatures and dry periods make it easier to develop fires. Not only southern countries in Europe or the USA are particularly affected, but also Germany itself. In 2023, over 1,200 hectares of forest space in Germany have already been destroyed by fires, a number that should stimulate petrol stations for fire protection.
A mix of careless actions and natural causes is often responsible for fires, whereby the number of unreported cases is high. It is particularly alarming that only 27 forest fires were registered in Germany in 2023 by natural causes. This makes the questions arise: "How well are we prepared for fires?", And "What do we have to do to minimize the dangers through accidents and carelessness?"
An uncontrolled spread of forest fires not only has devastating effects on the environment and habitats, but also causes considerable financial damage. Therefore, the call remains to all hikers, nature lovers and locals: keep away from the citizen of wood until the situation has improved, and supports the efforts to protect nature and people.
