Fire in barn – pigs trapped

Personnel from five different stations are currently participating in the extinguishing work at a barn in Åstorp.

– It’s a farm with pigs. There are 200 pigs in a barn there and we have a fire, says Mats Streer, officer on duty.

According to the emergency services, there is a risk of the fire spreading to other buildings.

– We are trying to put it out as best we can, there was a plan to evacuate the pigs, but we will see how it goes. It is not simple, says Mats Streer.

The emergency services will be on site most of the afternoon.
