The firefighting operation of the fire brigade is difficult because of the ammunition load. Firefighting planes that took off on Thursday and Friday were no longer in use.
Emergency services still cannot reach the fire sites in the forest because the risk of explosion is too great. The affected forest fire area is part of a large area owned by the Brandenburg Natural Landscapes Foundation.. The risk of forest fires for Brandenburg remains high, says the state's forest fire protection officer Raimund Engel.
