A heavy fire has broken out in an industrial building in Melby farm outside Norrköping. The alarm came shortly after 11pm on Friday evening after a passer-by saw the fire from E4 next door.
When the emergency services arrived at the scene, the building, which is approximately 90 by 15 meters, was already engulfed in flames and something exploded inside the property.
– We have decided to back off a little with the staff. It must have its own way now because it’s a bit nasty, says Morgan Wass, officer on duty at the Östra Götaland Rescue Service, at around 01:00.
A family that lives next door has been evacuated and the emergency services have removed flammable goods from a building next door.
– Then we will back off completely, and let it burn, says Wass.
No one has been injured.
