Fire in workshop in Kakuåsen

The place is located along road 344 by Gåxsjön, and when the rescue service arrived, it was fully engulfed in flames.

– When we arrive, it is a fully developed fire in a workshop or some kind of garage of approximately 300 square meters, says officer on duty Jörgen Eriksson at rescue region Mitt Norrland.

The work is focused on preventing spread to other buildings.

– There is nothing to do, the roof had already started to collapse when we arrived.

They try to protect stores and barracks, but there should not be any residential buildings nearby.

– There has been a risk of spread, but now we have fairly good control, says Jörgen Eriksson.

A station is expected to remain for another two to four hours, he says at 04.30. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, no one has been injured.
