An area contaminated with explosive ordnance near Halbe (Dahme-Spreewald) was also affected. The extent of the fire remained unclear at first. There were also fires in Rädel near Kloster Lehnin in Potsdam-Mittelmark on the edge of a military training area and near Neubrück (Oder-Spree). There, too, the size of the fires could not yet be foreseen. The fire brigades' operations continued. On Thursday, there had been fires on 2500 square metres of forest near Massen (Elbe-Elster) and on 500 square metres in Schwarzbach near Ruhland (Oberspreewald-Lausitz).
