There was another forest fire in Brandenburg.

Affected this time was Rheinsberg in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, where the highest forest fire risk level 5 applies in addition to the Prignitz district.

The fire resulted in heavy smoke on Thursday.

According to the first information from the fire brigade, around five hectares of forest were on fire.

The police spoke of two to three hectares.

The regional control center of the fire brigade issued a danger report.

Fire in popular holiday area

Some residents have had to evacuate their homes as a precaution.

These are buildings that are in the immediate vicinity of the fire.

The police initially did not assume that the flames could spread to the houses.

Rheinsberg with almost 8000 inhabitants is located in the Rheinsberg Lake District in northern Brandenburg and is a popular holiday area.

Last weekend, two forest fires in Treuenbrietzen and Beelitz, south of Berlin, posed a great danger.

Hundreds of firefighters, supported by Bundeswehr soldiers, were deployed.

About 200 hectares were in flames at a time.

Firefighters continue to monitor developments on site.
