On Wednesday, a fire broke out at a military training area of the Bundesheeres Großmittel (Wiener Neustadt Land district), where the flames spread quickly due to the drought. The army and fire brigade are fighting the fire together, which, according to the army, was still not extinguished on Saturday.
The army is deployed with helicopters, NBC defense forces and tanks to fight the flames and hot spots. According to a broadcast, the use of the training ground is made more difficult by the danger of duds in this area.
