After the roof collapse – new everyday life for the fire service in Umeå: “Big impact”

Preparedness at the fire station was never affected by the roof collapse as they had time to empty the carriage hall of vehicles before the roof structure collapsed.

– We had everything out 1.5 hours before the roof collapsed, says Christer Björkman.

During Thursday, all roofs are swept clean of snow and the focus is on securing electricity and water so that it works in the office part of the fire station.

– We have an electrical cabinet in the carriage hall that supplies the rest with electricity, we don’t have access to it and it can collapse at any time, says Björkman.
