Fire in the High Fens: Large-scale operation in border area

By with∅ut-me 20.08.2026 at 17:52 Uhr Accidents & Disasters Weather & Natural Disasters Pollution
TL;DR AI-generated For almost a week, a high moor in the High Fens on the Belgian-German border has been burning. Over 3,000 hectares of heathland, forest, and moor are affected, with hundreds of emergency personnel working to contain the fire. Fighting the deep-smoldering peat is proving difficult.
