- Orange Tree Inflames Extinguished - Tank Serves as Slashing Cutter
The blaze in Oranienbaum has been put out. "There's no fire anymore," declared Mayor Maik Strömer (CDU) around noon. Despite this, some smoke could still be seen in certain places, indicating that the job wasn't completely done. Emergency service personnel were still present, keeping a watchful eye. Moreover, a Dachs-type pioneer tank had been active since the morning. Its role was to carve paths through the forest, making it easier for the fire department to access those difficult-to-reach spots. A wildfire erupted in Oranienbaum on a Friday, covering around 50 hectares.
The firefighters are now focusing on extinguishing the remaining embers in other parts of the forest, including areas with other vegetables growing near the affected foliage. After the fire, local farmers expressed concern about the impact on their vegetable crops, hoping for quick restoration.
