The ban covers Bromölla, Hässleholm, Kristianstad, Osby, Östra Göinge and also Hörby and Höör.

- It has been dry in the area for so long and will be in the future that we have made the decision on a ban, says Jonas Nilsson, fire engineer at the Rescue Services Skåne Northeast.

There have been incidents

He states that there have been some incidents with fires caused by grilling in recent times.

Burning and grilling in forests and on land is not permitted. However, firing is permitted in specially prepared places where the risk of spreading is low.

- A specially prepared barbecue area can be a cement pipe or similar. A disposable grill, on the other hand, does not count there, says Jonas Nilsson.

The ban was introduced on Monday and is valid until further notice.
