Forest Fire Danger Remains High in Brandenburg and Sachsen-Anhalt

Level 4 fire warnings persist in multiple regions, though cooler temperatures are expected to bring temporary relief.

Large parts of Brandenburg and regions in Sachsen-Anhalt, including Anhalt-Bitterfeld and Wittenberg, are currently under level 4 forest fire warnings, the second-highest level.
Experts attribute the heightened fire risk to typical spring conditions, including a lack of green vegetation and sunny weather.
March 2025 has seen unusually high fire danger levels compared to most previous years, with only March 2022 showing similar patterns.
Cooler temperatures forecasted in the coming days are expected to temporarily reduce fire danger levels, though a prolonged lack of rainfall could worsen the situation.
Forest fire incidents in the region typically peak in mid-April, often triggered by human activity, according to historical data.
