The danger warning is yellow and applies from Wednesday at 1pm until Saturday. A yellow hazard warning indicates some risk of forest fire until rainfall arrives. There is therefore a high probability that the notification will be extended. Such a notice is usually sent when it has been dry for a long time. When we have had a period of mild weather and the snow has left many areas, the grass and heather from last year emerge. – As soon as it dries up and the weather is mild as it has been for the past few days, there is a risk of forest fires. That is according to meteorologist on duty at the Meteorological Institute, Alexander Skeltved. People are asked to be careful with open flames and to follow the instructions of local authorities. Emergency responders continuously assess any need for preventive measures and preparedness. Skeltved urges residents to be careful with open flames and objects made of glass or metal. – Now it’s sunny, so if there’s rubbish lying around, it could actually start a grass and heather fire. Be prepared Many people may want to use the fine weather to clean up the garden and perhaps burn a little ‘quickly’. – People have to think carefully considering that dry vegetation burns terribly well, it quickly takes over if people are not well prepared. You should have an extinguisher available and think about the distance from the fire and to dry vegetation. That’s what Sigurd Hadeland says in the 110 central.
