Due to the ongoing drought and high temperatures, the risk of fires starting and spreading is currently very high.
As a precautionary measure and to protect our forests, our natural areas, and everyone’s safety, an emergency ordinance has been adopted.
Effective today, the following is strictly prohibited:
- to light a fire;
- to use any type of grill,
in forests, parks, green spaces, natural areas, and all other public spaces or areas accessible to the public within the municipality of Mamer, including the “Op der Drëps” site.
Failure to comply with this prohibition is punishable by a fine of €25 to €250.
Please find attached the emergency regulation: CE 2026-076 EMERGENCY REGULATION: FIRE HAZARD
Best Practices to Follow
In addition to this ban, everyone is asked to exercise caution to reduce the risk of fire:
- Never throw cigarette butts into the natural environment or on public roads, even if they appear to be out. A single ember can be enough to set dry vegetation on fire. When the wind picks up, a fire can spread very quickly.
- Do not leave bottles or pieces of glass in the wilderness, as they can cause a fire under certain conditions.
In case of smoke or a fire
- Leave the affected area immediately.
- Call 112 immediately.
Thank you for helping to protect the environment and ensure everyone’s safety.
