A natural fire can develop quickly and unpredictably in a dry period, reports the safety region. As soon as a report of a natural fire is made, it is standard procedure to immediately pull out with several vehicles.

Tips for reducing risk of fire

Visitors can visit the forest or dune area without worries, but the safety region gives some advice to reduce the risk of natural fire. Motorists are advised to pay attention to where they park, because a hot exhaust or catalyst in high, dry grass can cause fire.

The correct throwing of waste in the waste bins is also important. Leaved glass, such as bottles, can work through the sun as a magnifying glass and set on fire or plants so dry. In addition, visitors are asked not to smoke and strictly adhere to the rules for the use of barbecues, campfires and fire pits. If there is something smoldering or on fire, call 112 immediately.
