Forest fire near Stockholm – helicopters on site

A forest fire erupted in Kolartorp, Haninge, a municipality outside Stockholm, prompting an emergency response that included two helicopters to aid in extinguishing the blaze. The fire, which covered an estimated 4,000 square meters, was reportedly surrounded by emergency services, with the nearest buildings at least a kilometer away.

This led to the filing of a complaint for public endangerment, and authorities are attempting to identify the drone operators. The incident highlights a growing issue of unauthorized aerial activity during emergencies.
