Heavy rainfall has eased the situation during a forest fire in the Müritz National Park, according to officials. The fire, which began last Monday, had spread over an area of nearly 388 hectares before the rain helped contain its advance. Despite this improvement, authorities have not yet issued an official warning that the threat has passed. According to Marten Schröder, spokesperson for the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, the situation is improving, though challenges remain. The initial response team from Lower Saxony, consisting of 22 firefighters with their equipment, was able to return home after completing their duties. These personnel arrived Saturday evening to combat the blaze near the railway line connecting Neubrandenburg and Rostock. This section of the park does not contain munitions, allowing for more direct firefighting efforts. By Monday, plans were underway for the departure of teams from Bavaria and Brandenburg. However, around 325 emergency workers, including firefighters, police, rescue services, and forestry staff, remained on site late into Sunday afternoon, working to suppress flames at multiple locations while keeping them continuously wetted down. The fire started on the former military training ground within the national park and quickly expanded throughout the week. At times, several villages had to be evacuated due to the danger posed by the flames. Firefighters used helicopters and water tankers to combat the blaze, although parts of the terrain being munition-laden complicated these operations significantly. Authorities urged cyclists to avoid the affected areas entirely and take alternative routes to ensure quick access for emergency responders. They warned that encountering cyclists in the zone could put individuals at risk and require additional assistance from emergency services. This incident follows another large fire that broke out in early June on a nearby military training ground within the national park, affecting over 100 hectares. That fire lasted several days and also occurred on land known to be contaminated with munitions. Landrat Thomas Müller of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte pointed out the unusual frequency of major fires, noting two such incidents occurring within three weeks. Both fires originated in areas strictly off-limits to the public, raising questions about whether they resulted from spontaneous combustion or other causes. Police investigations are ongoing, examining all possible angles, including the potential involvement of phosphorus ammunition. According to the Minister of Environment, Till Backhaus, there are indications that certain actions might have contributed to the fires, though specific details were not disclosed. Police continue investigating other fires that occurred recently, including grass fires in Wokuhl-Dabelow and between Neuhof and Carwitz near Feldberg. These fires, too, took place in areas known to be contaminated with munitions, and their causes remain under investigation. Critics have raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of the firefighting strategy employed in the Müritz National Park. Experts have criticized the use of circle sprinklers, suggesting they are ineffective in controlling wildfires. Additionally, operational and technical gaps in the firefighting approach have been highlighted by specialists, indicating room for improvement in how such incidents are managed. The fire has been contained within its current boundaries through the establishment of water barriers designed to moisten non-burning forest areas, preventing further expansion. As of now, the fire's extent remains unchanged at approximately 388 hectares, with fewer smoke plumes visible, indicating reduced intensity and heat. Firefighting efforts have been hampered by the presence of a former military exercise area, leading to active firefighting operations primarily in the eastern part of the affected region, where the risk of encountering munitions is lower. Explosions of shells can sometimes be heard in proximity to these zones, adding complexity to the firefighting process. The Bundeswehr has been actively involved in the firefighting efforts, using helicopters to assist in extinguishing the flames. Water collection points for the military helicopters include several lakes such as the Dambecker See, Granziner See, Käbelicksee, and Priesterbäker See. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, approximately 60,000 hectares of forest are considered to be contaminated with munitions, representing roughly ten percent of the total forest area. Of this, around 28,400 hectares fall into the highest risk category, which includes armor-piercing ammunition.

Požar se proširio na otprilike 360 hektara, a Bundeswehr koristi helikoptere za borbu protiv njega. Vlasti se nadaju da će oluje pomoći u gašenju plamena, ali jaki vjetrovi ubrzali su širenje požara.
