There have been several fires in the hot weather in Central and Western Jutland.

It takes almost nothing before field work ends in a field fire.

Several places in Central and Western Jutland, firefighters have been called out today to extinguish fires – including several field fires.

This applies to both North West Jutland Fire and Rescue and Fire and Rescue MidtVest, where Kim Bjerg Vemmelund is the emergency director – and today also the incident commander.

Earlier today, he and his crew were out extinguishing a field fire near Kibæk, south of Herning, and here it was probably just a single spark that started the fire.

"When it's as bone dry as it is now, and we have these very high temperatures and a bit of wind, it only takes a tiny little thing," says Kim Bjerg Vemmelund.

"And in this case, it's very likely that it was just hitting a small stone that gave a single little spark. In the same way, if someone dropped a cigarette butt, it would probably also become a fire today," he adds.

So we need to be very careful, emphasizes Kim Bjerg Vemmelund, who at the same time praises the farmers.

"We see an incredible number of farmers who are very, very proactive when it comes to limiting the damage. We can't avoid these field fires happening. But they are incredibly good at containing them and helping to get the fires extinguished," he says.
