Why Limburg (together with Antwerp) remains the most flammable and is now even used against natural fires

The Hoge Kempen National Park in Limburg has had 75 hectares of vegetation less since last night and night. It was the heaviest – and due to the long drought a somewhat ‘expected’ – natural fire this year on Belgian soil. Despite the predicted rain of the coming days, the fire hazard does not seem for a long time. Limburg and Antwerp in particular remain extremely fire -hazardous areas. How is that? And which (bad) role do people continue to play in this?
