- The fire is at Kvistberget and the terrain is miserable, it is a steep slope and it blows a lot, so we have requested and also received help from two helicopters, says Teresia Gustafsson who is internal officer at the Rescue Service Jämtland tonight.
On the ground are personnel from the Rescue Services in Svenstavik and Vemdalen.
For a couple of years, MSB, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, has had forest fire resources on standby.
The two helicopters that are now participating in the firefighting work outside Skålan were stationed on Frösön.
It is an area of about 100 x 200 meters that is burning but there are no buildings nearby.
