In June, at least about 100,000 hens died in a fire in a production building at one of Sweden’s largest egg producers, in Fliseryd outside Mönsterås. Now the police have come to the conclusion that no crime was behind the incident.

Shortly after the fire, the police conducted a technical investigation of the site.

– Our technicians came to the conclusion that no suspicions of crime can be linked to the fire. We have not found any flammable liquids or signs of intrusion into the property, says police investigation leader Therese Bramhagen, to SVT Nyheter Småland.

As no evidence has been found that a crime has been committed, the preliminary investigation is closed.

The extinguishing effort was extensive in connection with the fire. Emergency services from five stations were on site and helicopters bombed water.
