The rescue service advises against firing outdoors in the Mälardalen valley

However, there is no fire ban, it is only a dissuasion.

- You can fire in prepared barbecue areas and in garden grills, but be especially careful, says Christer Ängehov, rescue chief on standby at the Rescue Region Mälardalen in a press release.

The advice against lighting applies in Västerås, Hallstahammar, Surahammar, Arboga, Kungsör and Köping.
