High Forest Fire Danger Reported Across Most of Brandenburg

Seasonal conditions and low precipitation have elevated fire risk, but cooler temperatures are expected to bring relief in the coming days.

Most of Brandenburg is currently at forest fire warning level 4, with two counties, Elbe-Elster and Oberspreewald, at level 3.
The elevated fire danger is typical for spring, as the lack of fresh greenery increases susceptibility to fires.
Officials have emphasized that the current situation is not unusually alarming for this time of year.
Low precipitation in recent weeks has contributed to the heightened risk, with concerns about escalation if dry conditions persist.
Cooler temperatures forecasted in the coming days are expected to reduce fire danger levels to moderate across the region.
