forest fire risk in the focus

The current incidents at both times once again show the susceptibility of forest and nature for fires, especially in times of increasing temperatures and drought. Wald.fnr.de emphasizes that there have been increasing forest fires in recent years. In order to counteract this, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) as well as the environment, nature conservation and nuclear security (BMU) have initiated 22 research projects to combat forest fires. These measures should help to survive drought and minimize the risk of forest fires.

While the local fire brigade is required in Linz-Land and Epfendorf, it can be hoped that such incidents can be prevented in the future by preventive measures and an increased awareness of the risk of forest fire.
