– I don’t have any specifics as to why, but since it is a multi-family building, there is of course the risk that many people would be affected by a fire, which is probably why it is considered serious, says Anders Dahlman at the police region Bergslagen.
According to Avesta Newspaper One person was taken to hospital by ambulance after the fire.
The police will carry out technical investigations to clarify why the fire started.
The alarm to the police came at 19.30 on Monday.
