The Autobahn remains closed – the Berlin forest fire is not yet under control

“Thanks to the cooling, we hope to get a good prognosis that the blocking circuit can be reduced at some point during the day,” explained fire department spokesman Thomas Kirstein. Then the highway that has been closed since the fire broke out on Thursday night can be released once more. “But, let me be clear, we’re going to be careful. The danger that still exists from the ammunition and ordnance should not be underestimated.” Patience is therefore required. If an explosive device explodes, parts of it might injure emergency services or be thrown onto the freeway and then affect motorists.
