Giant fire in the forest: Fire brigade fights for hours for hours!

Giant fire in the forest: Fire brigade fights for hours for hours!

On Saturday afternoon, March 23, 2025, the Neheim fire brigade in Arnsberg was called to an alarming "unclear smoke development outdoors" in a forest area between Hüsten and Bruchhausen. Upon arrival of the emergency services, the extent of the fire was so seriously assessed that the alarm keyword was increased to "F4 forest fire". As a result, numerous tankers and additional alternating vehicles with a water capacity of 24,000 liters moved to the impending catastrophe, such as Fireworld.at reported.

The fire fighting was extremely challenging because the fire spread in a bald area in the forest, cheered on by dry branches and winds. To ensure effective control of the fire, commuting was set up, which included up to ten tank fire engines. These transported vital extinguishing water from a hydrant to the site. With the help of a fire brigade drone, the Situation was specifically monitored to quickly identify hidden embers. Fortunately, the emergency services managed to control the fire until 4:30 p.m. and to prevent greater spread.
