It was when police officers Ola and Jesper were on a routine matter in an apartment building in Helsingborg that they both became aware that smoke was coming from a nearby apartment on the third floor.
They were both able to enter the apartment with breaking tools and found a person whose clothes had caught fire.
The police's effort has been appreciated on social media.
- It is great fun that the public appreciates what we have done, says police inspector Ola.
