About 15 units from the rescue service are then on site – and more will be called out.
– There are explosions going on right now, which means that the rescue service has had to back off, says Thomas Andersson, duty officer at the rescue service.
The alarm about the fire came at 20.38 – it was residents in the area who saw flames coming out of the building. The business is closed.
– It is a restaurant part of approximately 10×50 meters that is fully on fire, says Thomas Andersson.
