Flood - Fire department seals dike near Celle with sandbags

Floodwater has damaged a dyke near Celle. Firefighters were deployed in Wathlingen on Saturday evening to secure the structure with sandbags, as the chairman of the Celle district fire brigade association, Volker Prüsse, said on Saturday evening.

Wathlingen is located on the Fuhse, a tributary of the Aller.
