According to fire engineer Johan Marklund at the Rescue Service in Skellefteå, only a few days of sun and drought are required for a high risk of fire again.
- It is still important to be careful when the rain starts to dry up.
To think about how to fire and behave in the woods and on the ground, he says.
Extreme weather
The UN's new climate report shows that the world is now warmer than in 100,000 years.
At the end of July, a kind of new record was set when rescue services in the four northernmost completed 119 rescue operations for fires in forests and land during one and the same week.
Johan Marklund seems to see a change over time also in Skellefteå.
- It is difficult to say anything in just a few years, but it will be more extreme weather.
In 2014 and 2018, we saw very large fire risks throughout Sweden.
