Dala Mitt rescue service has issued a strong advisory against outdoor burning. The measure comes amid a high assessed risk of grass fires in the region.

SMHI has warned of grass fire risks across large parts of Dalarna. It urges great caution during any burning activities and when operating large machinery outdoors.

"Grass fires can easily start and spread in dry last year's grass due to, for example, burning or sparks from machines," SMHI writes.

The rescue service highlights the need to avoid sparks and open flames to prevent rapid spread in the dry grass.
