Forest Fire Risk Persists Amid Rain Forecast

In the Rhein-Erft district, the threat of forest fires remains high, despite predictions of rain. Dry soils and fallen leaves create a significant fire hazard.

Activities such as smoking, campfires, and grilling can easily ignite flames in this vulnerable environment. Fire brigades in North Rhine-Westphalia are actively battling several wildfires, particularly in the Eifel and Sauerland regions.

The situation underscores the need for continued vigilance and caution in outdoor activities.
