German wildfire spreads as unexploded bombs keep firefighters 1km away

A wildfire is spreading in Mueritz National Park in northern Germany, but firefighters are unable to directly combat the flames due to the presence of unexploded munitions from an old military training ground. Officials from the Mecklenburg Seenplatte district stated that emergency services must maintain a 1,000-meter safety distance from the fire, preventing actions like aerial water drops. This has slowed firefighting efforts significantly. The fire has grown to cover approximately 150 hectares and has forced a village to evacuate for the second time. Authorities warn that the blaze continues to spread.
