The fire near Hřensk near the Czech-German border broke out last night on July 24. Extinguishing the fire was very difficult. 6,000 firefighters took turns at it. It was extinguished after 20 days. The fire spread to an area of more than 1,000 hectares last summer.
The intervention in Bohemian Switzerland was complicated mainly by the extreme drought, high temperatures, strong wind and inaccessible terrain.
