In several regions of Germany, firefighting teams are battling devastating forest fires exacerbated by ongoing drought and high temperatures.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, firefighters face significant challenges as remnants of munitions in the ground seriously hinder firefighting efforts. These remnants lead to dangerous explosions during operations. Due to these risks, an entire town had to be evacuated to ensure the safety of residents.
