Waldbrand in Spetal: Fire brigade fights for hours for hours!
In the municipality of Spreetal in the Bautzen district, the fire brigade held the position for several hours on Saturday afternoon. A hectare of young forest was affected, which meant a challenging and lengthy struggle for the emergency services. Two tank fire vehicles were mobilized to contain the fire as quickly as possible. The firefighters received support from forces from Hoyerswerda and the district of Görlitz. All this information has compiled [sächsische.de] (https://www.saechsische.de/lokales/baustzen-lk/hoyerswerda/spretetal-wald-waldkreis-breuzen-feuerwehr- Mehrere-stunde-im-Einsatz-Bqu73MJ3MR6G25A.HTML).
To ensure the fire water supply at the fire location, a water withdrawal point was set up. The tank fire vehicles brought water to the site in a shuttle traffic. This measure turned out to be crucial, because the use of the Neustadt/Spree volunteer fire brigade, which confirmed the long commitment, was of enormous importance.
cause remains unclear
So far, the emergency services have not yet been able to provide any specific information about the cause of the fire. The challenges of forest fires have increased worldwide in recent years. They are also on the rise in Germany. According to the Statista, there were around 1,200 hectares of forest in 2023, which were affected by fires, and the situation could continue to worsen. The warm and dry conditions, often due to climate change, favor these developments.As the statistics show, the number of forest fires in Germany has dropped compared to the previous year, but this is no reason for euphoria. The most common causes of fires are arson and negligence, with many fire still lit for unknown reasons. A disturbing trend!
consequences and prevention
The damage that forest fires cause are not only to be assessed in terms of area. The effects on the environment and health of fine dust released are also significant. In recent years, massive damage has been recorded, especially in southern European countries and in the United States. The high numbers in the Amazon area are particularly worrying.
It is to be hoped that today's missions in Spreetal could prevent another setback. The growing threat from forest fires must not be underestimated - the authorities now require a good hand in prevention. Climate change ensures that the protection of our forests is becoming increasingly important, and together we have to work to keep these valuable habitats.
