In Sweden, forest fires have developed in dozens of places across the country due to persistent drought. In the middle and north, people are evacuated because of the advance of fire.
This morning, there were 35 large and medium-sized fires. The biggest problems are in the regions of Gävleborg, Dalarna and Jämtland. In a military shooting yard in Dalarna, a grenade exploded from the heat caused by the fire.
An Italian firefighting plane
In the Härjedalen region in the middle of the country, a fire of 3500 hectares rages. Firefighters receive the help of two Italian firefighting planes. France has also promised to send two planes. The inhabitants were evacuated
In the municipality of Ljusdal, also in central Sweden, fires totaling 8,500 hectares burn. Firefighters have the greatest difficulty in extinguishing and this is also due to the strong east wind blowing there.
Rainfall Deficit
There are also forests in the densely populated areas around Stockholm and the university town of Uppsala. Swedish weather institutes are waiting for the drought to continue until the end of the month. However, rain may fall in some places, but this can not offset the resulting shortages of rainfall.
