The fire - which broke out on Saturday afternoon - is considered under control but is not yet extinguished. On Monday, around 15 people are still on site and participating in the extinguishing work.

"It's still burning inside the area. It's flaring up," says PA Lindfeldt, emergency response leader at the rescue service to GP.

According to the fire service, the steep and rugged terrain has made it difficult to get equipment and water to the area, and the extinguishing work has therefore been delayed.

The fire-ravaged area is estimated to be around 20 hectares in size.
