Forest fire in East Tyrol: Firefighters have controlled flames

A forest fire broke out in the Osttirol region of Austria, specifically in the Mitteldorfer Wald area south of Virgen. The blaze, which threatened to spread due to high temperatures and strong winds, required a large-scale firefighting effort involving around 170 personnel from twelve fire departments. Firefighters worked throughout Friday and Saturday, supported by five helicopters conducting aerial firefighting operations. Tractors were used at night to bring water into the area, helping prevent further spread. Two additional helicopters were planned for Saturday to address remaining hotspots in inaccessible areas.
