It still burns in a forest in Botsholmneset near Vikanes in the municipality of Lindås. We will talk about a heather and a forest fire that spreads rapidly in the wind.
Houses and cottages evacuated

We have observed that those who live there should not come back, but it is revealed that there are many who are not at home, he adds.
NTB reports that the fire department will prioritize extinction in the village and let it burn on the side of the mountain where it is difficult to arrive. Probably the helicopters are placed on the mountain. One comes from Sauda, the other from Kinsarvik.

Drotningsvik states that the fire department has managed to limit the fire near the houses, but firefighters do not control the fire in the side of the mountain. "It's terribly stiff there and there is a high-voltage cable, so it's not easy," Drotningsvik said.
25-30 people from the Civil Defense are now on their way to help in the work of extinction. They come from the departments of Lindås and Bergen, reports the Civil Defense on Twitter just before 20.
