The emergency services are urging people to avoid grilling in forests and fields in the Gothenburg area, even though there is currently no fire ban.

Multiple fires over the past week have strained the resources of the emergency services.

Kristina Lindstedt, the duty fire chief in Greater Gothenburg, stated this.

In northern Stockholm, a forest fire broke out in Vaxmora, Sollentuna, prompting helicopter water bombing by emergency services.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) warn of a high risk of forest fires across Stockholm County and other regions, advising against outdoor fires and grilling in forests and fields.
