News summary<\/em>:\u00a0Severe fires raged in\u00a0Saxony-Anhalt\u00a0over the weekend. Hundreds of hectares\u00a0of\u00a0rapeseed and grain<\/u><\/a>\u00a0have fallen victim to the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest\u00a0summer\u00a0fires of the past few days ignited on Saturday near M\u00fccheln in the Saalekreis. There, about 220 hectares were burned with\u00a0rapeseed<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and grain. The extinguishing work took two days. Again and again, the fire flared up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field fire out of control: Agricultural company helps the fire brigade<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2.30 p.m., the M\u00fccheln fire brigade was alerted to a medium field\u2002<\/a>fire, which a short time later developed into a major blaze. The reason for this was that the fire got out of control due to the wind. All the weirs from the surrounding area rushed in. The fire quickly spread towards a housing estate. Fortunately, it could be stopped shortly before it reached there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local agricultural company also provided help with water tanks and cultivators to set up a fire path and prevent the spread, the comrades explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the quick measures, a total of four fields were affected and partly completely destroyed. The overhead line\/airline was also damaged. The high-voltage line was then switched off for safety reasons. As a result, there were power outages in the vicinity. The high temperatures around 37\u00b0C also bothered the emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day later, there was another outbreak of the fire in M\u00fccheln. The wind would repeatedly expose ember nests on the 220-hectare fire area, and the fire would flare up again and again, according to a spokesman for the fire brigade. There were also smoke developments time and again. The local fire brigade had to move out repeatedly to extinguish new small fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, about 150 emergency forces were on duty on Saturday alone, according to the dpa. During the extinguishing work, a tractor <\/u><\/a>that was supposed to transport 7,000 liters of water to the fire site had tipped over. Fortunately, the driver remained unharmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near M\u00f6ckern in the district of Jerichower Land, an estimated 80 to 120 hectares of forest\u2002<\/a>and field burned down. Between R\u00f6dgen and Z\u00f6rbig in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, a wheat field<\/u><\/a> was on fire on Saturday. Emergency services were able to prevent the fire there from spreading to wind turbines. The fire here decimated 150 to 200 hectares. The resulting property damage is estimated at 150,000 euros, according to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
