Visitors are strongly urged not to enter the Hihg Fens area and to keep away from the incident site.
The authorities appeal to the public and to day-trippers to strictly respect the barriers. This is the only way to ensure that rescue and emergency services can operate without obstruction. The High Fens is a specially protected natural area with sensitive peatland and heathland habitats.
In any case, avoid the area between Raeren and Waimes. Further information will be provided as the situation develops.
