King Carl Gustaf visited today the fire area around Järvsö and Ljusdal.
His Majesty the King visited the forest fire-ravaged area in Kårböle during Wednesday. The King praises the efforts made in the summer of 2018, but believes that society has probably fitted down its defense and protection capabilities too quickly.
In the summer of 2018, enormous forest fires raged in the municipality of Ljusdal. In the areas around Kårböle, nature is still noticed by the disaster.
King Carl XVI Gustaf, who himself is a forest owner, recalls:
- It is very dangerous, the wind can turn in different directions and then you have to run. It really is a craftsmanship, they did a tremendous job of those who were here and helped.
- We learn every time, we are not worse than that. We may be a bit more alert and build a fire defense. We see that the defense that we have installed now is being rebuilt. It was thought that the world would be better, but now you feel that maybe it went too far, we take lessons and we must do that here too. But maybe screw up the pace a bit, says the king.

On Wednesday, June 5, the King visited some of the areas in Hälsingland that were hit by the fires last summer.
Upon arrival at Järvsö station, the king was received by county governor Per Bill. The King then attended a lecture and a seminar on fire fighting in connection with the fires in the summer of 2018.
In the afternoon, the King was given a tour of the fire area and, among other things, met one of the many landowners who were affected.
