The fire department has issued serious safety warnings for parts of Leksand's home arena, Tegera Arena, according to reports from March 22, 2026. The arena has received 16 violation notices for fire safety deficiencies following inspections. Among the serious shortcomings identified are limited or blocked evacuation routes, risky shielding for away supporters, and incorrect fire safety drawings that don't match the actual layout of the arena.
The safety concerns come as HV71's match series against Leksand moves to Dalarna for a Sunday evening game. The fire department's condemnation of safety measures at the arena raises questions about spectator safety during events. The situation is particularly notable as Leksand faces crucial home matches with reportedly low attendance, adding to concerns about the arena's operations and management.
