The alarm came in on Wednesday afternoon. Emergency services are on site with 10 units and have begun extinguishing the fire.
The forecast from the emergency services now is that there will be a longer operation. The size of the fire is estimated to be 400 by 400 meters. It is windy and dry in the forest and fields, so the conditions are less good, says Caroline Olausson, communications officer at Särf. They have also requested support from MSB's aircraft with the extinguishing work.
