Forest Fire Suspicion Near Hainburg: Witnesses Sought

Forest blaze identified in vicinity of Hainburg under police arson investigation

You heard it, folks! A not-so-little mishap occurred in the woods of Hainburg, and the crew at Christoph 2 stumbled upon it while on a routine emergency mission. They spotted a smoky patch in a forest area that turns out to be an out-of-reach section near the Hellenbach. The smoke led them to a 2,500 square meter wildfire burning along the Bannholz Way, a forest path.

According to the police, investigators suspect this inferno might be the work of arsonists. Gather 'round and listen up as word spread quickly, with the fire department arriving soon after the discovery. Tip of the hat to 5VISION.NEWS for keeping us all up-to-date!

Close to 50 square meters of forest near the L3416 road was ablaze, but the fire was swiftly brought under control. Even with the high forest fire danger, our heroes prevented any further spread. Hainburg's finest firefighters weren't about to let this pyro-party get out of hand.

Upon arrival, emergency services found two separate fire sites, each roughly the size of a small living room. These clustered flames hint at the suspicions of arson, prompting the involvement of the local law enforcement. They're encouraging anyone who might've seen anything—suspicious persons, vehicles, or activities near the Bannholz Way or L3416 road during the afternoon of April 4—to dial up the Hainburg police department at 069 8098-1234.

In light of the current drought, the fire department and police are reminding everyone to steer clear of open flames in the forest. It doesn't take much to spark an inferno in these times. Keep yourself safe and our woods intact by avoiding beautifying the landscape with matches or cigarettes until the drought's passed.
