A forest fire of about 3.5 hectares is raging at Lokberget northeast of Ånge, reports P4 Västernorrland.
Rescue services from several locations in both Jämtland and Västernorrland counties participate in the firefighting work, which is expected to take at least all night, but can last for several days.
– We are circling the fire and limiting the risk of spreading water bombings with the help of helicopters, says Lars Krantz, at the rescue service in Västernorrland, to the radio.
