During the Sunday afternoon, the rescue service rushed out to a forest fire between Ukna and Edsbruk outside Västervik, reports P4 Kalmar.

According to the radio, there is a fire on an area of 100 by 100 meters.

In addition to the rescue service's resources that are already on site, one is waiting for a helicopter that will water bomb.
