The reason for the ban is now lifted is that in recent days Östergötland has received both rain and cooler temperatures, which has reduced the fire risk. The fire ban will end at 12 noon on Friday, May 1st.
- It is still dry in the ground in some parts of the county and any firing should be done safely. It is important to be very careful and have access to water to quench. All firing takes place at your own risk, says Andreas Lundberg, Head of Unit and Deputy Director of Defense at Östergötland County Administrative Board in a press release.
