Wildfire in West Greenland (2019-08-12)

Description

Activation time (UTC): 2019-08-12 20:16:00
Event time (UTC): 2019-08-12 17:00:00
Event type: Wildfire (Forest fire)

Activation reason:
A wild fire is spreading in West Greenland and local authorities have not been able to stop it. National authorities from Denmark will be dispatched. There is the risk that the fire will spread to local populated area. There is also a risk that the fire will spread to areas with deep ground roots - where the fire will be able to "burn deep" and cannot be extinguished, it might burn for multiple seasons.
