- We are currently working frenetically to get control of the fire, says internal commander Mikael Kalered at the rescue service Östra Götaland.

He estimates that the area that is burning right now is about 150 times 50 meters in size, but that is increasing rapidly.

- It is powder ground in the ground and blowing strongly, so we must quickly reshape the forces to try to protect buildings. But it is difficult, because the terrain is difficult, says Mikael Kalered.

Holiday homes threatened

The buildings that are nearby are some holiday homes, says Mikael Kalered.

- It can go quickly if you are not included in the notes, he says.

Staff from two stations are on site, with fire trucks, all-terrain motorcycles, pumps among the equipment.

No forecast

The fire helicopter that is on its way comes from Jönköping or Västerås, and Kalered hopes that it will be able to make a difference and put an end to the spread of the fire.

The unstable situation means that Mikael Kalered does not dare to give any forecast as to when the fire should be able to be controlled.

The alarm came to the rescue service just before 7pm.
