Heavy fire in villa outside Eskilstuna

The alarm came to the rescue service just after 03:00 on Monday night.

– The resident had seen smoke in his villa, and when we got there there was heavy smoke on the upper floor and in the attic, says Sebastian Levin at the rescue service.

He says that they tried to put it out, but it burned so badly that the house could not be saved.

– It had to burn to the ground and we concentrated on preventing the spread to adjacent buildings.

No one was injured in the fire and the rescue service expects to remain on the scene for a while into the morning.
