"Due to a very large forest fire in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, in the northeast of Germany, several villages have to be evacuated.
The fire spread over 430 hectares on Monday morning and the smoke can be smelled all the way to Berlin. The state minister for the environment speaks of the largest forest fire ever in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. About 500 people had to leave their homes. The fire has also reached a former training ground of the army, which makes it more difficult to extinguish. Ammunition is on site. The fire is probably lit. Forest fires have also broken out in other places in East Germany"
