I'm fine, really

There are forest fires going on all over Sweden, including within an hour from where we are. We sometimes smell it.

At first it was frightening, but... I suppose it doesn't work to be afraid when nothing happens. So far we're safe. Many others are less so. We try not to do anything dangerous. Should anything happen, we'll have to reconsider the fear.

Stay safe! Bushfires are a fact of life here in Australia. The big thing that gets drummed into us is to have a Bushfire Survival Plan (basically, whether you'll evacuate or shelter in place), and a clear point at which you'll activate that plan. See https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/36600/Plan-Step1-Discuss.pdf for an example.

Oh, thank you! That's a couple of good points!
