— We have a fire in at least eight boats and are working on fire extinguishing and containment. We work together with the coast guard and maritime rescue on site there, says Daniel Svensmark, alarm and line operator at the Greater Gothenburg Rescue Service.
The alarm came in at 05:01. It is unclear if anyone was injured.
— I have no knowledge of that, but we have an ambulance with us out, says Daniel Svensmark.
Björlanda Kile on Hisingen is one of Northern Europe’s largest marinas with 2,400 berths and is a popular harbor to dock their recreational boats for those who want to reach the archipelagos of Gothenburg and Bohuslän quickly.
The fire has broken out further into the harbor where the boats are between six and eight meters long.
