Wald fire risk in Bavaria: Fire brigade fights against flames with high pressure!
A dramatic forest fire kept the emergency services in Austria and Bavaria in suspense at the weekend. In the Rax area, firefighters had to fight the flames from Saturday afternoon, which spread in the difficult to access terrain at a rapid speed. Operational manager Josef Huber confirmed to 5min.at that the spread of the fire could be successfully over five to ten hectares. The emergency services use thermal imaging cameras to find hidden embers that have to be extinguished with additional floor squads. These challenges are still exacerbated by strong south wind that could spark new embers.
In the meantime, the situation was also worrying on Friday afternoon at Bayrischzell in the Miesbach district, Bavaria. In the afternoon, around 3,000 square meters of mountain forest were already on fire. The police later described the fire as "largely deleted", although numerous embers must continue to be deleted to prevent a rebuilt, according to the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria Süd at the request of Br.de . In addition to four extinguishing helicopters, several helpers also worked in the steep terrain.critical cause of fire and high risk of forest fire
The cause of the fire could have been a platform truck that had caught fire, which was also favored by the strong winds. In the region, the risk of forest fire is currently extremely high; Daxen fire have recently been banned due to these high risks in the Miesbach and Rosenheim counties. The authorities have even asked hikers to avoid the area around the hot plate. In order to secure the extinguishing work, a flight ban zone also applies to paragliders and glider pilots. These preventive measures show the urgency of having to counteract the flocks of fire and the rapidly changing weather conditions.
