More forest fire reports in Niedersachsen than ever before

Currently, new fires occur every day in Niedersachsen, causing major challenges for the local authorities. 440 hectares of forest are under constant observation here by our long-tested system, which is essential to prevent devastating forest fires. Helmut Beuke, forest fire officer for the state of Niedersachsen, reports that by end of June, there have never been so many fires detected as in this year 2022.

The high temperatures, lack of precipitation and the resulting dry forests are a major problem.
