Nine units worked during the evening and until sunset with control of the fire that started in at Horgemobacke in the southern part of Alvesta municipality during Thursday evening. Drone helicopters were also used to get an overview and to extinguish from the air.
Because the terrain is snowy, you have not been able to work during the night, but as soon as the sun rose, work started again.
The fire should now be under control.
"Hoping for more rain"- We are favored by the weather. Now we hope for more rain. The fire is under control, but there are small incandescent fires in the area that we must now find and extinguish, says Sebastian Severinsen, rescue commander in readiness for SVT in the morning.
From the beginning there were reports that several heroes were burning, but according to Sebastian Severinsen, a maximum of half hectares is burning.
- We had both drones and helicopters up there, but it's hard to see because of all the smoke, it can look bigger than it is.
