Heilbronn, Deutschland - On June 14, 2025, the citizens of the Heilbronn-Franken region await the first heat wave of the year. The temperatures increase and thus also the risk of forest fires, which remains constant in accordance with the current weather conditions. Fire brigade and the DLRG are preparing for a weekend that requires both bathing fun and caution. While the floors have moistened something previous, especially in Niederstetten and Freudenberg am Main, the risk of forest fires at level 4 of 5 rose, such as SWR reported.

The Heilbronn fire brigade has already held an emergency exercises and currently does not see any acute fire. But the preparations are comprehensive: drones could be used in an emergency to quickly recognize the extent and spread of fires. In addition, shots are beaten and the undergrowth is processed to prevent embers. These are important measures, especially in the current time when heat waves and dry conditions increase the risk of vegetation fires. According to DGUV, reports show that forest fires in Germany are increasingly occurring and the burned areas were over 40% over the long-term average last year.

preparations on the bathing lakes

The DLRG has also prepared for the upcoming heat weekend. At the Breitenauer See, on the former blade and on Lake Katzenbach, your bathing supervision is ready to ensure the safety of the swimmers. The water temperature is currently pleasant 20 degrees, but the DLRG expects fewer guests to swim despite the warm temperatures. Particular caution not only applies to sunsticks, but also to the assessment of one's own swimming skills. The fear that swimmers overestimate their skills remains. Those responsible for the DLRG advise parents to keep an eye on their children when bathing.

  • Am Breitenauer See are 12 lifeguards.
  • at the former blade, 8 swimmers take care of security.
  • Last year there was no bathing accident on the lakes, only a few "almost accidents".
  • The DLRG has enough committed young people, but new members are always welcome.
With this conscientious preparation, both the fire brigade and DLRG are equipped in order to counter the increasing challenges through the heat and the associated fire risk. The current events are part of a larger trend that is influenced, among other things, by climate change. Extreme weather phenomena not only present the emergency services with new challenges, but also require increased awareness of the population. The number of cases of forest and vegetation fires increases and require the greatest possible vigilance of the emergency services, such as [Alamy] (https://www.alamy.de/feuerwehr-im- Einerhoht-erhoht-Die-Waldbrandfahrrandfahrzt-Die-St. dry-drying-in-Brandenburg-Fuhrt-Einem-Erho Hten-risk-fur-waldbrand-vegetation brandy-Rohen-Maumen-Walder-Brandenburgs-the volunteer-fire brigade-creak-the-flames R-Performance Show-the-Company-2024-in-Welzow-Welzow-Brandenburg-Deutschland-Feuerwehr-Durre-Erhoht-Waldbrand-Die-Sturre-Durre-in fire Enburg-Fuhrt-zu-ahohten-Waldbranden-Rohen-Brandenburgs-Walder-Walder-Voluntige-Brandenburger-Waldbrandde-Image623238010.html) reported.
