– It’s very difficult terrain, with ravines and difficult vegetation, says Internal Officer Patrik Freij at around 4 pm.
By 5.30 pm the fire was under control. Work to extinguish the fire continued well into the evening. On Friday morning, after-checks will be carried out. The cause of the fire is currently unclear.
