“It is completely dry in nature and very windy. As a result, a forest fire can develop quickly and unpredictably. That is why we use a lot of influence,” says a spokeswoman for the Safety Region. She was still unable to provide information on the magnitude of the fire.

Natural areas are also on fire elsewhere in the Netherlands. For example, the Air Force had to help extinguish the large fire in the Deurnese Peel Nature Reserve on Tuesday. According to the fire brigade, four helicopters poured fire water on the burning shell, where more than 150 hectares were destroyed.

The large forest fire in the De Meinweg National Park ignited again on Tuesday afternoon, as a result of which the nearby residential area of ​​Reewoude at Herkenbosch in Limburg had to be evacuated. More than 170 hectares have already been destroyed. The Limburg Fire Brigade is assisted by the German Fire Brigade.

In the cane fields near the Ossenzijl village of Overijssel, a large forest fire started on Tuesday afternoon. The fire in the middle of the De Weerribben nature reserve was difficult to reach, so additional crews from the fire brigade had to be brought to the burning reed with boats.
