Police and emergency services were called to the scene at eight o’clock on Saturday morning. – We received calls from some early-morning tennis players. When they arrived at the tennis hall, they smelled a strong smell of smoke, says Tommy Wållberg at Räddningscentral mitt. No flames can be seen coming out of the building, but according to the emergency services there is a lot of smoke. – Smoke pours from the roof, says Tommy Wållberg. According to the emergency services, there is a fire in an operating room in the premises. – We have sent in smoke divers to limit the fire, says Tommy Wållberg. The fire is still limited, but there is a risk that it will become more extensive. – Since it is a room with large volumes of air, there is a risk that large volumes of fire gas collect in the ceiling. Then the fire can spread, says Tommy Wållberg. It is not yet clear how the fire started, but according to the police there is currently nothing to indicate a crime.
