Preparations are now being made to evacuate residents who may be affected. The fire is currently out of control. There is a fire on a mountain in Jardalen in Roan in Åfjord in Trøndelag. The municipality monitors the situation and cooperates with the fire and rescue agencies. It is now on the municipality’s website. – It is burning in an area of two meters on the mountain, says fire marshal Jostein Tangen, fire marshal at the 110 – central in central Norway. Wind causes the fire to spread quickly. – The fire spreads quickly in terms of wind direction and wind speed, says Tangen. There is a good distance for buildings, and there should be no danger of the fire spreading there. Many crews are deployed to extinguish the fire, and help is also coming from the Civil Defense and the Red Cross. Big forest fire danger Jostein Tangen says that it has been dry in the terrain for a long time. It is an area of heather, scrub and forest that is now burning. It is dry and there is a high risk of forest fires throughout Trøndelag. – People should be careful when using open flames, says the fire chief. The cause of the forest fire which is currently underway is not known. Forest fire helicopter not coming A forest fire helicopter has been on standby at Værnes. It has been requested and requested from the 110- switchboard in Central Norway. But there are no conditions for deploying a forest fire helicopter now. This is what rescue manager Oddgeir Andersen at the main rescue center in southern Norway says to news. – It is not weather and light conditions. Forest fire helicopters do not operate in the dark and need daylight, says Andersen.
