At 12.13 on Sunday, SOS alarm received a phone call about a grass fire on Klasmossen's IP.

When the rescue service arrived, an area of ​​about 10x10 meters burned.

The fire could be extinguished quickly and the rescue service soaked the edges around the field.

Every year, the risk of grass fires is great in the spring when last year's grass dries up. This means that fires can easily occur and spread in the dry grass.
