"Florian Harz 25" has been back in the air since 8:00 a.m. on Friday.
The fire brigade cannot extinguish the forest fire that broke out on Wednesday evening near Jüterbog. On Thursday, the fire-fighting aircraft dropped 90,000 liters of water by sunset. The district of Harz has signed a contract with a Polish firefighting aircraft operator that guarantees round-the-clock operational readiness during forest fire season.. Fire-retardant additives are not added to the extinguishing water.
