Alarm about fire in the wind

When SOS Alarm sounded the alarm at 1:00 pm Saturday, the first data was that there was a fire in a Björngatan blast.

– It burns in the wind. We do not control the fire at the moment, "said Michael Simmeborn, internal manager of the rescue service in Jönköping.

"We currently have five beds to fight the fire, and it has not yet been said that the fire is under control," continues Simmeborn.

You still do not know what is the extent of the fire or if the fire has spread to neighboring properties. There are indications that one or more apartments have been damaged but this is not confirmed.

Has been freed

The whole house was evacuated and a collection site was also created.

Jnyts journalist Adam Jönsson is on site.

"There are firefighters on the roof, at the moment I do not see a fire and it seems pretty quiet at the moment." Firefighters work outside with firefighting and fire smokers are also present.

– On the other hand, the demand is great. I see eight fire trucks, police cars and ambulances and a medical car so you do not take any chances.

Immediately after 2:00 pm, the fire was under control. The fire, which had started in a windy apartment, had also spread to other spaces in the wind.

None of the 40 or so homes on the property were damaged. They had to leave the premises but can expect to return to their apartments in the afternoon or evening.
