Critical situation in Nissan and Lagan - "They have worked in principle continuously"

The Rescue Service has a full up, it looks alarmed as dense about water-filled basements and plots, mainly at Sennan along the Nissan and Knäred along the Lagan.

"They have worked in principle continuously, in these critical areas," said Johan Wallin, internal commander of the rescue service, on the night that has been.

At an industrial property in Knäred, the rescue services have built, among other things, embankments to keep the water away from the building. In other areas, firefighters have spent the night pumping out water from properties.

- Lagan and Nissan, and the tributaries in Lagan are critical, they have increased very much during the night, says Johan Wallin.

Should barriers be built along Nissan and Lagan?

- Respective commanders at the resort are on the way out right now and will reconnoiter and see what it looks like, so there will be further decisions later.

In Falkenberg, it should be calmer, thanks to the barriers built for the weekend.

At the time of writing, it is a Class 2 warning for very high water flows in Viskan, Ätran, Nissan, Lagan, tributaries Skålån and Bolmån.
