| - De bosbrand in Västmanland was een bosbrand in het Mid-Zweedse landschap Västmanland. Hij ontstond op 31 juli 2014 in het noordoostelijke deel van de gemeente Surahammar, nabij de grens met de gemeente Sala. Het was de grootste bosbrand in Zweden sinds de jaren 1950. Dertienduizend hectare bos ging in vlammen op en er waren ongeveer vijfentwintig afgebrande of door brand beschadigde gebouwen. Bij de brand viel één dode. De brandbestrijdingsoperatie, waarvoor gedurende enkele dagen hulp werd verkregen van Franse en Italiaanse blusvliegtuigen, duurde tot 11 september. (nl)
- Skogsbranden i Västmanland 2014 var en skogsbrand som bröt ut 31 juli 2014 på ett kalhygge i nordöstra delen av Surahammars kommun, nära gränsen till Sala kommun. Det var den största skogsbranden i Sverige sedan åtminstone 1950-talet med 13 800 hektar drabbad skog och ungefär 25 nedbrunna eller brandskadade byggnader. Branden krävde ett dödsoffer. Räddningsinsatsen avslutades officiellt den 11 september 2014. (sv)

| - The 2014 Västmanland wildfire was a wildfire that broke out on the afternoon of 31 July 2014 on the border between Sala Municipality and Surahammar Municipality in Västmanland, Sweden. It is Sweden's largest wildfire in 40 years. After an EU appeal, Italy and France provided firefighting aircraft. On 4 August 2014, the evacuation of residents began in alongside Route 668 east of , and Ängelsberg. As of 5 August 2014, over one thousand people were forced to evacuate their homes, and the town of Norberg, with about 4500 residents, was being considered for evacuation. One person was confirmed killed by the fire, a man in his 30s who was reported missing. His badly burned body was found near Stabäck, Västmanland. The fire was declared a national emergency. It encompassed over 15,000 hectares and was located northwest of Sala. The Swedish Armed Forces were mobilized, with about 100 personnel providing support to the firefighters as of 7 August. It was reported that nine volunteers were surrounded by fire and had to be rescued by professional firefighters on 5 August. Because of this, volunteer firefighting help from the public was no longer accepted. Firefighters found a 42-year-old man in the forest who was badly burned but still alive. The police reported that he was taken directly to a hospital for treatment. The wildfire threatened the UNESCO World Heritage Site Engelsberg Ironworks. The owners of the Ironworks, Nordstjernan, rented two helicopters of their own to water the area close to the site. The Swedish police started a preliminary investigation of the cause of the fire, to see if it was caused by criminal negligence. According to local media, a driver of a ground-preparation vehicle stated that the fire started in his vehicle and that no fire watch was posted despite a very high risk of fire. Although the 2014 Swedish heat wave did not cause the fire, the exceptionally hot and dry conditions of the summer of 2014 enabled the fire to spread and intensify. (en)
