After several forest fires in Gnosjö recently, the police are deploying camera surveillance with drones in the area, reports SVT Nyheter Jönköping.

Five forest fires have broken out in the area in the past two weeks. Police suspect they are set because there were no wildfires in the area at all last year, despite similar weather conditions.

“Further fires risk having major consequences and drones are a good complement to other measures we implement in Gnosjö”, writes the police in Värnamo on Instagram.
