Lower Austria is launching a campaign to prevent forest fires due to high current risk. The province will provide free warning signs and materials to municipalities, particularly in eastern regions like Weinviertel and Marchfeld, where the risk is extreme. Forest fire regulations are in effect across all districts, with penalties for violations. The fire department's workload for forest fire fighting has tripled compared to last year.
