Just a few days ago, the fire brigade fought a fire at a blast site in Berlin’s Grunewald. Now emergency services have to move out again. 4000 square meters of forest floor are in flames. The police are investigating.
The Berlin fire brigade has once again responded to a forest fire in Grunewald. The fire broke out on Saturday night. The fire brigade was on site with around 50 forces for several hours. The operation ended around 9:30 a.m., a fire department spokesman said in the morning.
Around 4000 square meters of forest floor would have burned. That sounds like a lot, but it is a relatively small area compared to other forest fires. But because the ground was very dry and there was a lot of dead wood, it wasn’t that easy. The fire brigade had to dig up embers. It is not yet clear what caused the fire at the site. The cause of the fire is determined by the police.
Most recently, the fire brigade had been fighting a fire at a blast site in Grunewald for days. The police store old grenades, World War II bombs, ammunition and confiscated fireworks there. The Autobahn 115 (AVUS) was closed for a long time. In this case, the cause of the fire is still unclear.
