There is unexploded ordnance at the site of the fire, a major emergency! German forest fire spreading in Fleming | Great Fire | Forest
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur on June 9, German officials declared a major state of emergency with the further spread of the forest fire on June 9. The fire burned in a former military training ground south of Berlin, and unexploded ammunition hindered the work of firefighters.
A spokesperson for the emergency department in the Terto Fleming region said on the evening of the 9th local time that the situation is getting worse for the fire that started 10 days ago.
He said that troops and resources have been deployed on a large scale, with 100 emergency personnel and 18 fire trucks at the scene near Teborg.
The report states that the fire has destroyed 718 hectares of land and spread to a new area of 10 hectares.
However, he said, as before, "no villages are threatened by new fires.".
According to reports, Yuteborg City has been leading the firefighting operation before, but due to the high degree of damage, the Terto Fleming area has taken over.
According to the spokesperson, on the 10th, emergency personnel will receive support from federal police and armed forces, followed by three helicopters to support firefighting efforts.
According to the report, despite 10 days of firefighting, the situation has hardly improved due to wind assisted fire.
Christiana Lindner Kloppsch, the head of the Public Order Office in Yuteborg City, said that many areas that have been burned have caught fire again.
According to reports, the fire even spread to previously unaffected forest areas.
The report stated that the fire started on May 31st, but due to the danger posed by unexploded ordnance, the fire brigade was unable to extinguish the fire from its source.
