I'm interested in helping out when the HOT tasking manager project is
setup. I'm unable to coordinate a HOT project right now. If anyone is close
to the fires there might be some possibilities to get better quality maps
from the local firefighters/Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). In the news (SVT)
yesterday it looked like SAF had drones up and running for imagery.

Best regards
