A large forest fire covering an area of 200 hectares is currently raging in the Gohrischheide between Brandenburg and Saxony. As the former military area is contaminated with ammunition, it is difficult to extinguish the fire and some small neighbourhoods near the fire had to be evacuated, Wülknitz, Saxony, Germany
