New evacuations have been ordered in the German High Eifel plateau due to the expansion of a large wildfire in the Hautes Fagnes natural park in Belgium. Authorities in Monschau are recommending residents of Plattevenn, Leyloch, and Kalterherberg to leave their homes and seek temporary shelter with family or friends. A reception center has been set up at the Buergercasino in Imgenbroich for those unable to make their own arrangements. This measure follows further fire spread on the Belgian side and the anticipated risk of significant smoke concentration and fallout in border areas starting in the morning. The fire’s progression poses a continuing threat to nearby communities. Officials are closely monitoring the situation and prioritizing public safety. Further updates will be provided as the situation evolves.
