A hiker reported the fire to the police around 1 p.m. He had feared a forest fire. Because of the continuing forest fire danger, the police alerted the fire departments Elbach, Hundham and Wörnsmühl, who were deployed with 28 men and four vehicles.
On site, they found that a 50-year-old farmer had burned branches in a meadow. The flames had spread to the meadow and spread. When the fire department arrived, the fire was almost out. She extinguished the embers, after two hours she had finished the job.
Bolz emphasizes: Even if this mission went off lightly, it was important in the current drought not to light Daxenfeuer. Otherwise, even if properly executed, fires could not be avoided.

The farmer is now awaiting notification under the Fire Prevention Ordinance. As the police report, he will also have to pay the cost of the fire service. The police also reiterated the existing forest fire risk.
As reported, the district office in Miesbach called over three weeks ago to avoid Daxen fire due to the drought. "It would be fatal to weaken the emergency services of all blue light organizations, which are already strongly challenged by the corona pandemic, by a forest fire," press spokeswoman Sophie Stadler emphasized at the time.
