New Forest Fire in Modum Prompts Efforts by Fire Service

METHOD: At 20:30 the fire service in Modum is on a new forest fire. This time there is a fire between Presterudveien and Svarterud, the fire service writes on Twitter.

The size is approximately half a metre. The fire service promoted and initiated efforts, it is reported.

According to Bygdeposten’s reporter at the scene, the Fire Service had to park a short distance from the scene of the fire.

Control

At 9 p.m., Sør-Öst 110 central wrote on Twitter that they have the fire under control and that extinguishing is ongoing.

Guard commander Joachim Rakvåg tells Drammens Tidende that there are houses nearby, but none so close that there is a risk of spreading. Rakvåg says that they have not evacuated anyone.

The fire brigade at the scene believe that the top break over a power line is the cause of the fire. But they are not sure.

On Sunday afternoon there was also a forest fire in Modum. More than 30 fire crews were then deployed on the ground and two forest fire helicopters in the air worked on extinguishing the fire.

The case is updated.
