Norra Älvsborgs Räddningstjänstförbund, Räddningstjänsten Mitt Bohuslän and Räddningstjänsten Orust issue a joint warning that there is currently a large or very large fire risk in the area.

Discouragement but no ban

The municipalities covered by the advice against outdoor fires are Färgelanda, Lysekil, Mellerud, Munkedal, Orust, Trollhättan and Vänersborg.

However, no fire ban has been issued.

March has been unusually sunny and dry in large parts of the country.

Hear Claes Vennberg, external commander of the rescue service West about the risks of the dry land.

All the alarms that the rescue service responded to during the weekend were initially controlled fires, but in some cases the wind changed it.
