Picnic. The forests will be closed? The Ministry of Interior and Administration comments
The causes of the fire in the Biebrza National Park are unknown for now, but the influence on such a rapid spread of fire certainly had Drought that prevails in Polish forests. – It is important that in winter there is snow, which gradually melts and powers surface or underground waters. We didn’t have this this year. It is very worrying that there were few rainfall and February and March were very dry – commented Izabela Adrian from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration Wiesław Leśniakiewicz in an interview with RMF FM admitted that The situation is so serious that the forests can be closed to the picnic. – I expect the fact that if this situation is still progressing to the lack of rainfall in larger plants of our country, the State Forests will take specific activities related to the limitation of access to forest areas – said the politician.
“If we don’t actually have more intense rainfall for the picnic, it may be a situation that admission to forests will be limited,” he added.
The deputy head of the Interior Ministry and Administration pointed out that “Looking at the maps of fire hazards, there is no catastrophic situation yet” – I hope that the stimulation of nature and the increase in the new, fresh grass will minimize the fire risk in the forests – he emphasized.
