In Värmland, the rescue service has responded to at least five grass and forest fires since Saturday morning.

One of the larger ones was at a clear-cut in Olsäter where it burned for an hour and where surveillance was required for at least another hour after the large fire was extinguished.

"Big risk"

It has also burned in Kil, Östra Ämtervik and in Stora Skärmnäs east of Edane in the afternoon.

The latter was a grass fire of 1200 square meters.

- There is a great risk of grass fires in the area, says Johan Gustafsson, operator at SOS Alarm, which is responsible for the Bergslagen Rescue Region.

Even on Sunday, there is a great risk of grass fires in Värmland and Örebro from lunchtime until the evening according to SMHI.
