The alarm came in just after 20:30 on Thursday.
– There are people on site who have sounded the alarm. It is a fully developed fire, said Peter Stened, internal commander of the rescue service in Halmstad, just before 21:00.
– We are currently investigating whether there is anyone else in the house, he continued.
Shortly afterwards, however, the police were able to confirm that no one was injured in the fire, and that they were on site to support the rescue service.
During Thursday evening, it was still unclear how the fire started, and the police will at a later stage determine whether crime may be behind it.
