In Brief

Two camping fires in Sweden: two motorhomes destroyed in Sölvesborg, a caravan on Vermdö. Causes under investigation.

On Sunday, a fire at the Hälleviks campsite in Sölvesborg destroyed two motorhomes. According to the rescue service, the consequences could have been much worse without the quick intervention of guests and staff. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

On Thursday night, a caravan caught fire at the Bolvik campsite on the island of Vermdö. Firefighters arriving found it fully engulfed in flames. A report was filed regarding careless handling of fire; preliminary indications point to a technical fault.

First Camp Vadstena, located by Lake Vättern, has decided to keep part of its campsite and cabins open during the winter season. The move comes as the first peak season ends. The campsite will offer pitches for caravans and motorhomes, winterized cabins for booking, and a winter season option for seasonal guests, according to destination manager Fredrik Wiman. Last winter, corporate guests already rented the winterized cabins.

Police have received a report of a burglary in the Långemåla area, in Mönsterås municipality. Between 10 a.m. on Wednesday, August 26, and midnight the following day, someone forced open a caravan door and window, causing damage to both. The owner found the caravan in disarray and items missing. As of Friday morning, no inventory of stolen goods had been provided, so it is unclear what was taken.
