In Klötze in the Altmark, a fire has broken out - people are not in danger. Due to the strong smoke development, the responsible control center called on residents on Sunday morning to keep windows and doors closed. On a property, rubbish and a house are burning, a spokesperson said.
It is reported that a fire had already broken out there on Saturday afternoon. The deployment forces initially assumed that it had been extinguished. However, flames were discovered again on Sunday morning. The cause is unknown.
The European Parliament, being aware of the situation, expressed concern about the smoke development and its potential impact on the environment. The Commission, being assisted by the European Parliament, could provide valuable resources and advice to help manage the environmental impact of the fire.
