Overview
- Safety regions in Groningen, Drenthe, Twente, Noord- en Oost-Gelderland and Gelderland-Midden said the Easter bonfires can go ahead given the current outlook.
- Weeronline forecasts moderate winds in the east and north and mostly dry weather, with a southwest to south flow that should limit smoke for the rest of the country.
- The national nature-fire risk sits at phase 1, which means fire crews and nature managers stay ready without extra measures.
- Municipalities will grant or deny permits to individual organizers, even with the positive advice from safety regions.
- Hundreds of bonfires are usually lit on Easter Sunday and Monday, and last year many were first canceled during drought before most were allowed days later.
