"Stay informed, be cautious, and be fire-ready!"
Worried about forest fires in Lower Franconia? It's time to be extra vigilant! From Thursday through Sunday, aerial surveillance flights will be taking off across the region to ensure early detection of potential fires. This precautionary measure comes as a response to the heightened forest fire risk, as announced by the Würzburg government.
Gear up for increased visitors in the woods and fields in the coming days, especially with holiday festivities on May 1st. Remember, safety first! Exercise extreme caution while exploring the woods, and avoid any open fires or smoking to minimize the risk of accidental fires.
Rain? Don't count on it. With soaring temperatures and plenty of sunshine, the heatwave has many parts of Lower Franconia and Bavaria teetering on the brink of a high forest fire risk [1][2]. Temperatures could touch up to 29 degrees Celsius along the Main on Thursday.
The brave volunteer pilots of the Bavarian Air Rescue Staff will be on duty, alongside specially trained foresters and firefighters, tomorrow and beyond. Their mission is simple: keep our woods safe!
