A large wildfire was reported in Kirchheimbolanden, prompting the deployment of the swap-body vehicle (WLF) carrying 10,000 liters of water, as well as the drone unit, to provide support. Once on the scene, the fire was quickly brought under control by the Kirchheimbolanden municipal association’s fire department, preventing it from spreading further. The drone assisted with mop-up operations and helped identify various pockets of embers.
In total, approximately 4,000–5,000 m² of the field burned.
