- The thunder has made it.
In combination with a little rain, says site manager Thomas Andersson at the Rescue Service in Jokkmokk.
At present, the stations in Jokkmokk, Vuollerim and Porjus are out on three separate fires.
- It is extremely hot to work in this weather with almost 30 degrees, Thomas Andersson continues.
Small flashes are behind
Inside the command center in Luleå, Patrik Lindfors sits and coordinates the forces out in the field:
- There has been a major thunderstorm that dropped a lot of lightning.
We now hope to have time to get a grip on all ignitions so that we avoid large fires.
