I think I have figured it out! Interview from yesterday with the Polish lead on site in Sveg:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHPUYdkyfjY&feature=youtu.be&t=141 Paraphrased: " We are working on two sites that are 20km, more or less, from our base of operations. On the first site we are replacing the Swedish firefighters. We are trying to control the fire in a close proximity of the bigger fire which is south west of Sveg. " So, the second site is the one SW of Sveg at Älvdalens skjutfält. There are however three larger fires in that area according to VIIRS. "In proximity of the bigger fire", does that mean around the larger fire, or does it mean a smaller fire close to the larger fire? There is a smaller fire around 61.60, 13.50. There is a larger fire at around 61.64, 13.57. The third one, at least as large as the large one mentiond above is, if I figured it out right, the one located within the area they withdrew all firefighters from as it's a military training ground with risks of explosion. The one they bombed with fighter jets yesterday. kalle 2018-07-26 0:40 GMT+02:00 Karl Wettin <karl.wet...@kodapan.se>: > > The press contact is open 24/7, so I called them. > > MSB knows nothing more than that they are placed in Gävleborg and Jämtlands > län.
