– Considering that it is very dry in the fields, we chose to push on properly, said Viktor Brandt who is the internal commander at the Jämtland Rescue Service tonight.
A total of six units from the stations in Sveg and Ytterhogdal were alerted, but no fire was found.
– Now we have learned that there is a major nature conservation burning going on on the other side of the county border at the height of Noppikoski, and judging by everything, that is where the smoke and smell are coming from, Viktor Brandt said a while later.
Before the rescue units from Härjedalen were allowed to return, they sent up the fire plane which could confirm that there was no forest fire outside Sveg.
According to SOS Alarm, the planned nature conservation burning is taking place a little southeast of southeast of Noppikoski, in Ejheden in Rättvik municipality.
