forest fires and fires in residential buildings have been a growing problem worldwide in recent years. Climatic conditions play a central role in this, because increasing dry and heat periods that are favored by climate change increase the risk of such events. In many southern European countries, the USA and the Amazon region, there have been particularly serious damage caused by forest fires in recent years. In Germany, for example, over 3,000 hectares of forest area were destroyed in 2022, the highest value in the past 30 years. In 2023 it was still over 1,200 hectares, which Statista documented .

The causes of these fires are diverse. Often it is arson or negligence, with around half of the fires of unknown origin. It is particularly worrying that in Germany there were only 27 fires of natural origin in Germany. The consequences of forest fires range from the loss of space to considerable ecological and health impairments through fine dust emissions.

The two current fire events in Salzburg illustrate the urgency to deal with these challenges. With the increase in extreme weather, such incidents are unfortunately common and require quick and coordinated action on the part of the authorities and emergency services.
