Deleting aircraft witch 1: nine fires and four years in the Harz!
Deleting aircraft witch 1: nine fires and four years in the Harz!
In Saxony-Anhalt, the extinguishing aircraft, which has been in use for the past twelve months, will initially stop. The pilot phase ends from October 1, 2024, which means that the "witch 1" will temporarily no longer fly in the resin. However, the Harz district has announced that the initiative is not completely stopped. Instead, there are plans for a new contract with a term of four years, which is scheduled to begin in April 2025.
In the recent project, the aircraft, which is used to combat forest fires, completed a total of nine missions. It worked in the air for about 110 hours. The use on the military training area in Jüterbog is particularly remarkable, where the plane was active for 78 hours with a single fire. These missions have shown how important air support is in the fight against forest fires.
Balance of the missions
The extinguishing aircraft has proven to be valuable aid in its test phase, especially in extreme forest fire situations. Despite the fact that it was often used in Brandenburg, future cooperation in the Harz could continue to be important for the prevention and control strategies of forest fires. The district of Harz is currently preparing the tender for the four -year contract, which is due to apply from April. This is intended to guarantee more durability and planning security for the coming years.
The decision to continue the program is of central importance to improve the skills to combat fires. A well -equipped air support is essential, especially in times of climate change, in which the frequency and intensity of forest fires tends to increase.

The feedback on the effectiveness of the fire-fighting aircraft was mostly positive, which could support future purchase and use of similar aircraft. The ongoing preparations for the tender could help the district to be able to react quickly and effectively to fire events in the future.
