All residents who were evacuated due to a large forest fire in the German federal state of Brandenburg were able to sleep in their homes during the night from Saturday to Sunday. The fire is so controlled that the evacuated villages Klausdorf and Tiefenbrunnen have been released. Residents of a third evacuated village, Frohnsdorf, were allowed to go home on Friday.
The large forest fire in the southwest of the German state of Brandenburg is not yet under control. Hundreds of firefighters are still busy with fire fighting on Saturday morning. The residents of the evacuated villages Klausdorf and Tiefenbrunnen are not allowed to go home yet.
Karl-Heinz Schröter, the Minister of the Interior of Brandenburg, suspects that the forest fire that has raged since Thursday in the German state has been lit.
Some of the people who had to leave their homes because of the large forest fire in southwest Brandenburg can return home. The evacuation of the village of Frohnsdorf was lifted on Friday afternoon, said Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke of the German state during a visit to the area.
The fire brigade succeeded on Friday to protect the three villages threatened by forest fires in the German state of Brandenburg against the flames. About five hundred residents of the villages of Frohnsdorf, Klausdorf and Tiefenbrunnen had to leave their homes on Thursday evening because of the fire about 50 kilometers south of Berlin.
A large forest fire southwest of Berlin led to the evacuation of two villages on Thursday evening. The authorities of the municipality of Treuenbrietzen instructed the inhabitants of Tiefenbrunnen and Klausdorf to leave their homes as quickly as possible with the help of the most necessary (papers and medicines) and to follow the instructions of aid workers.
