Rescue leader Anders Fagerlund says that the rescue service began the extinguishing work at 12 o'clock on Sunday.

We have circled the fire and have it under control in terms of spread, but we do not succeed in extinguishing the fire.

It is very difficult terrain to extinguish, he says.

The burning area is about six hectares.

Now the area will be water bombed by two aircraft.

The wind is not really with us today.

It is increasing slowly but surely.

Fagerlund says that 40-50 people from different units work with the extinguishing work.

He says that they try to maintain endurance for a day to begin with.
