– Now I think we have it under control. We have not really had any threat to the boundary lines we have, and that which has been in the form of flaming fires we manage to extinguish, said incident commander Lars-Göran Uddholm.
This is the first time you may say that you have the fires under control?
– Yes, that’s it. But it feels good now and now we are in a different position and continue strengthening, control does not mean that we can leave the place, says Uddholm.
The focus is now on those who are still evacuees will get come home again, and to secure up around their house so that they can return and that it’s safe there. Roads, power lines and other infrastructure destroyed will be built up but the roads to the houses is a top priority, according Uddholm.
The rain that draws on Västmanland during the day is appreciated, but when the fighting switched to extinguish the glow hearth in the ground, it does rain a minor role.
– What we do now is to turn the spit about 30 cm into the ground and puts out roots that glows, with just under half a meter apart. That it gets wet in the terrain is always good, but the rain mostly affects the flames above ground, said Richard Kjaergaard at the command center in Ramna.
The French and Italian aircraft ended its effort yesterday, after water bombing was no longer considered necessary.
– As it looks now we are stepping into a part of it that has been in the air but at the same time, we increase what is already on the ground. Over time, of course, ground stake also decrease, says Lars-Göran Uddholm.
