Hectic

It has been a hectic time in Svångemåla the last couple of days. Helicopters have been hovering around, trying to put out a forest-fire that is still ravaging a 3,000 m2 large area only 2.5 k away from my house. One of the roads had to be closed down for a while to allow fire trucks free access and in the next couple of hours people from the army will join the rescue workers. The situation has been made more difficult due to strong winds and we all hope that it will calm down soon although the fire will be smoldering for many, many more days and even weeks.
