It is due to the very large fire risk on Gotland that the County Administrative Board of Gotland decided on a fire ban.

On Monday, July 26, at 18.00, the ban came into force.

- It is a preventive measure to reduce the risk of fires in forests and land.

We have had high temperatures for some time, and according to SMHI we can not expect any precipitation of significance during at least the next few days, says Anna-Lena Fritz, unit manager and acting county councilor at the county administrative board, in a press release.
