The planes are being sent in batches, with two being sent to France on Saturday morning and two more later this week. They are being sent in batches as maintenance is to be carried out on the planes, according to Christina Jarnlid, press spokesperson for the Swedish Civil Defence Agency.
Is four planes enough?
That's what we have, says Christina Jarnlid.
Nearly 200,000 people have been evacuated in France and Spain, where forest fires are raging.
