It was already 40 years ago that five firefighters lost their lives in the forest near Meinersen in the biggest fire in Germany!
Every year on August 10th, the fire brigades commemorate their deceased comrades. For this they lay a wreath at the memorial in the forest near Meinersen!
So the memorial is always very well maintained at the end of August ;-)

The ashes were still going down in the district of Celle. My mother reported ash dust on linen on a leash.

5 young firefighters are burned while working for the general public. And the pine forest around it could burn again.
