Machinery hall in Grästorp is on fire

There is a fire in a 400 square meter machine hall in Grästorp.
Four stations and 20 firefighters are on site.
– We don’t really have full control so far, says Mattias Wejshag, officer on duty at the rescue service.

The alarm came at 05:20.

– The building is approximately 400 square meters in size and there is a fire in the attic and in the roof structure, says Mattias Wejshag, officer on duty at the rescue service.

Four stations with around 20 people are on site. At 06:40 the fire was still not under control.

“Strong smoke development”

In parallel with the extinguishing, the rescue service tries to save as many “large and expensive” machines as possible. These include tractors and combines.

There are no reports of injuries and the true extent of the fire is still unclear. However, the emergency services state that the building is not on fire and that the risk of spreading is relatively low.

– But there is quite a lot of smoke over the place, there is relatively strong smoke development, says Mattias Wejshag.
