- To the south of the sawmill there is a firepath due to highway 84. In the north there is the river Ljusnan and to the east is Setra's timber store, which is richly watered. There is a local emergency plan if the fires should come close to the sawmill, "says Mattias Forslund, location manager Setra Färila.
The forest fires are located in the sawmill's catchment area, it is highly likely that it will affect production in the near future.
