Report


A fire was reported in a meadow in Imsbach, adjacent to which there were also several trees and shrubs. A pile of wood was burning vigorously, and due to the radiant heat, the fire threatened to spread to the vegetation. However, firefighters from the Imsbach and Winnweiler fire departments were able to quickly contain the flames and ultimately extinguish the fire. A drone was used to scan the surrounding area for any possible embers or hot spots.

The police are investigating a case of arson.
