historical perspective of the forest fire risk

The dangers from forest fires are not new. Between 1991 and 2017, the area that was affected by forest fires decreased significantly in Germany. However, the weather -related dangers in some regions remained the same or even increased. According to the Environmental Federal Agency in the years 2018 and 2019 we experienced an alarming increase in forest fires, especially due to extreme drought and heat. This applies in particular to the northeastern federal states, while forest fires usually cause less significant damage in other places.

Investments in forest fire prevention and improving the infrastructure to combat fires, such as the replacement of old fire -growing towers with digital sensors, help to increase safety in the forests. This can be seen in various measures that are promoted by the federal states.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in Central Saxony and whether the measures held and the new technology are sufficient to avert greater damage from our nature. In the meantime, all citizens should be vigilant and find out about the applicable dangers and recommendations.
