The ongoing drought is causing a significantly increased risk of forest fires in St. Ingbert. The city urges special caution and adherence to safety rules. Open fires, barbecuing, and cigarette butts are strictly prohibited in the forest. In case of fire, call emergency number 112 immediately.
The Greens call for a heat protection plan for Saarland – similar to France, elderly people, people with disabilities, and those unable to work should be able to register when a heat-related weather emergency threatens. They also demand measures to maintain healthcare during heat emergencies.
