Fires Contained in Germany's Lüneburger Heide and Tarmstedt

Firefighters extinguish blazes in two locations as investigations continue into their causes, with one fire linked to a vehicle ignition.

A fire burned 2,000 square meters of forest in the Lüneburger Heide Nature Park near Evendorf, reportedly caused by a car catching fire.
Firefighters deployed five tanker trucks to address water supply challenges and worked overnight to extinguish the Lüneburger Heide blaze.
In Tarmstedt, a vegetation fire spread across 500 square meters but was quickly brought under control using specialized firefighting equipment.
The cause of the Tarmstedt fire remains under investigation, while the Lüneburger Heide fire is linked to a vehicle ignition.
Firefighters continue monitoring both areas for hotspots to ensure safety, with the Tarmstedt operation also serving as an educational moment for local children.
