A large fire has broken out in one of Berlin’s largest city forests, triggered by several explosions at a bomb disposal site inside the forest on one of the hottest days of the year so far.
More than 100 firefighters were battling the blaze that has spread across 1.5 hectares (about 3.7 acres) in the German capital’s Grunewald forest on Thursday, the Berlin fire department and a German news agency reported.
