Forest fire south of Stockholm largely extinguished

Two helicopters have been working during the day to extinguish the fire, which covers approximately 4,000 square metres.

Ludwig Taylor, duty officer at the Södertörn Fire Department, said at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday evening that the fire had been largely extinguished.

"We are currently rotating some personnel on site and will then continue extinguishing for a few more hours. But it is very quiet on site. Right now there is not even smoke coming out of the ground," he says.
