A forest fire broke out near Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser in the Tyrolean Unterland (district of Kufstein) on Tuesday afternoon, prompting a large-scale fire department response. Thick smoke was visible over a wide area, with approximately 1,000 square meters of very rugged, rocky terrain burning. By early evening, helicopter water drops appeared to slow the spread of the flames. Around 100 firefighters from Scheffau and surrounding communities, along with mountain rescue teams, were deployed. Firefighters focused primarily on transporting water from the Hintersteiner Lake to the Kafa Alm, where helicopters would refuel and return to the fire site. Two helicopters were on-site, with two more requested.
