An area of over 150 hectares is now affected, a spokeswoman for the city said on Saturday evening. In the morning it was said that it was burning on a total of 45 hectares.

The fire brigade cannot reach the fire sites in the forest because the danger from the ammunition lying in the ground is too great.. Several columns of smoke rise above a forest near Jüterbog, which has been blazing since Wednesday. The city spokeswoman had said: "We do not expect a quick end."
