A spokeswoman for the city of Jüterbog said on Saturday: "We do not expect a quick end" The fire brigade cannot reach the fire sites in the forest because the danger from the ammunition lying in the ground is too great. Aircraft dropped water on the forest fire area on Thursday and Friday.
Localities were not endangered by the fire, according to the city's official news agency, dpa. The fire broke out on Wednesday evening and continues to spread, said the head of the public order office.
