Kitzingen: Fireworks for the wine festival can be canceled due to heat and forest fire risk!

Kitzingen, Deutschland - In the Kitzingen region, the heat wave with temperatures that beat against the 40-degree mark cannot be overlooked. The persistent drought has meant that the city of Kitzingen had to cancel the fireworks planned for Monday evening, which should have formed the end of the promenades wine festival. The reason for this decision is obvious: the increased risk of forest fire in the entire region forces those responsible to act quickly. According to Radio Gong the risk of forest fire will remain high in the coming days, with level 5 on the danger level scale in large parts of Lower Franconia.

In addition to the cancellation of the fireworks, the government of Lower Franconia has taken measures to prevent forest fire. The German Weather Service warns of great heat and announces a phase of relative drought that will continue to burden the region. This was specially made in a current communication of the government of Lower Franconia

preventive measures and air observation

In order to counteract the increasing risk of forest fires, the government has ordered preventive air observation for the entire region. These missions carried out by the volunteer pilots of the Bavaria air rescue relay relay, especially focus on afternoon. Not only will forest fires keep an eye on, the monitoring of bark beetle infestation is also on the agenda. The air observations take place on two routes: the west route, which starts from Mainbullau and Hettstadt, and the Eastern route, which starts from Schweinfurt-Süd and Haßfurt.

The population is urgently asked to be careful in the forest areas and to do without open fire. The beautiful summer evenings naturally draw many day trippers into the forests, but the increased danger situation requires responsibility and consideration.
