The risk of forest fires is now increasing significantly in Baden-Württemberg. The German Weather Service (DWD) warned about the said risks because of the extremely dry and the sunny weather lately. Due to this the risk of forest fires will reach up to level four out of five on 22nd April with an upward tendency. The DWD tracks the risk of forest fires on the Internet under:
www.wettergefahren.de/warnung/indizes/waldbrand.html.
It is generally prohibited to start a fire outside of a marked fireplace in the forest. And in times of the Corona epidemic, the forest authorities have blocked playgrounds and barbecue places anyway. It should also be noted that smoking is prohibited in the country’s forests from March till October.
