The emergency services have been called to Vasastan in central Stockholm after a fire broke out in an apartment building.
– We have some kind of fire on the fifth floor at the top of the building. We are working hard and the situation is still not under control, says Tobias Åkesson, commanding officer of the rescue service.
The alarm came in shortly after 6 p.m. and it is still unclear what is burning.
– They are breaking open doors and trying to get into the property, says Tobias Åkesson.
The emergency services have begun evacuating the property. There is currently no information that anyone was injured in the fire.
The police are also on site and are assisting the emergency services with roadblocks.
