Drone relay after forest fires in need - donations urgently needed!

Drone relay after forest fires in need - donations urgently needed!

In the Gohrischheide near Dresden, the flames are flamed, and the emergency services are once again faced with a large forest fire. On Monday afternoon a difficult to reach forest caught fire and the fire brigade had to act quickly. The fire, which broke out not far from the nudist air bath, initially recorded about 100 square meters, but quickly spread to around 300 square meters. The emergency services, which moved to the fire site immediately after 12 noon, noticed the strong white-gray smoke development when approaching, which was visible from the wind. The smell of fire smoke was also clearly noticeable. In order to get the fire under control, the operations management divided the site into two sections and used numerous jet pipes and tank fire engines to prevent further spread. Fortunately, this was succeeded, and the situation could be stabilized, such as [sächsische.de] (https://www.saechsische.de/lokales/dresden-feuerwehr Einze-unweit-vom-fkk-bad-fj6eqymfvjh2xgtkzhhigcd5fu.html) reported.

But the challenge of forest fires grows, not only in the surrounding area of Dresden. Climate change also affects this country and increases the risk of forest fires, especially in the sandy pine forests in Germany. Innovative technologies now play a central role in the fight against the flames. High -tech is increasingly being used to combat forest fires from both the air and the ground. A promising project is Firesat, which is supported by Google. The use of satellites for real-time monitoring of forest fires is planned in order to identify fires from a size of 5 × 5 meters. This technology will continue to be expanded by 2029, such as [n-tv.de] (https://www.n-tv.de/wissen/wie-hightech-waldbraende- anddaems-soll-article25873592.html) explained.

help for the drone relay

parallel to the fire fighting, the drone relay of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Federation (ASB) faces urgent challenges. After the latest forest fire in Gohrischheide, it became clear that the equipment of the volunteers was badly damaged. Starting from the batteries to generators in the emergency car and the cameras - a lot has been affected by the extreme heat. The defect in air conditioning in the emergency car, which is decisive for cooling sensitive measuring devices, is particularly critical. This was emphasized by relay manager Stefan Riedel, who emphasized that the financial means for the necessary major repairs are not sufficient. In order to support the drone relay as quickly as possible, a donation campaign was started. Every euro counts in order to continue to be able to help efficiently.

The donation account is as follows:

• ASB regional association Dresden e.V.
• iban: DE92 3702 0500 0003 5867 00
• bic: bfswde33xxx
• Bank: Social Bank
• Donation purpose: drone relay

The drone relay is dependent on the support of the population. It finances its technology exclusively from donations and thus offers a valuable contribution to safety and fire fighting in the region. So while the fire brigade fought against the flames with extreme strength, technological support must also be ensured. Because in times of climate change, such voluntary initiatives are more important than ever.
