Large heather fire on military training area Leusderheide, fire under control after 2 hours

Fire brigade with extra units to fire on Leusderheide

On the Leusderheide, a piece of heath measuring about 40 by 40 meters was on fire. Now that it is getting warmer and drier outside, the risk of heather and other wildfires is also increasing, a VRU spokesman said. “We are of course alert to this, but it does not mean that we will be manning our barracks extra. We are always prepared for incidents, whether it be a house fire or a heather fire.”
