Air Rescue Squadron in Nittenau to Combat Forest Fire Risk in Upper Palatinate
In response to the increasing forest fire risk in the Upper Palatinate, Germany, an air rescue squadron based in Nittenau is ready to act. This town, located within the Upper Palatinate, is home to one of the Bundeswehr's (German armed forces) air rescue squadrons, specifically equipped for emergency and firefighting support missions.
The agreement for this operation was made with the Office of Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Regensburg, branch office Pielenhofen. The aim is to monitor potential hazards and risk sources early, and surveillance flights are scheduled for Friday, August 15, across the entire region.
The Upper Palatinate government has ordered aerial observation of particularly at-risk areas, with the flights intended to help detect potential hazards and prevent forest fires. No further information is provided about the specific areas of concern or the type of aircraft used for the surveillance flights.
The lack of rainfall in the Upper Palatinate and high temperatures have contributed to the increase in forest fire risk. The air rescue squadron, stationed in Nittenau, is prepared to respond rapidly to forest fires, especially during dry and hot periods.
No contrasting or different official locations for the air rescue squadron responding specifically to forest fire risks in Upper Palatinate were found in the available data, confirming Nittenau as the designated air rescue base for aerial fire response operations in that region.
As the risk of forest fires continues to rise, the air rescue squadron in Nittenau stands ready to protect the Upper Palatinate's forests and communities.
