Howdy!
I hope you guys havent melted away in the summer heat. It has been insane with the temperatures here in Sweden and with fires.
Im curious about Finland if you guys have had alot of fires over there too and if you received help from the EU with fire fighting planes and fire trucks and things like that? How has your situation been this summer?
When it was really bad there were about 80 fires burning. About 20 000 hektar (50 000 acres) of forest has been lost due to fires according to the authorities, thats about 60 million euros worth. These numbers are from middle of July so there surely has to be even larger numbers.
