Moorland fire extinguished
NDR
A large moorland fire, which had been caused accidentally during a military exercise in northern Germany more than a month ago, has been extinguished, reports public broadcaster NDR. According to a German army (Bundeswehr) spokesperson, pictures taken by a reconnaissance aircraft on 9 October had not shown any signs of a fire, but the Bundeswehr will continue to monitor the area. NGO Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) had calculated that the fire had released at the very least half a million tonnes of CO鈧� by mid-September.
