- I was smoking on the balcony, then I saw something that shone on a balcony in the apartment building opposite me. Then I noticed how it started to come out of smoke and then I saw that it was burning, says Ertan Yalcin Sarihan.

At the same time as Ertan Yalcin Sarihan called 112, he ran over to the house opposite to warn the residents.

- We have several people who started knocking on the doors inside the apartment building while we shouted: "that is burning". Then I heard the windows explode.

Still burns

When SVT News Uppsala was in place on Sunday afternoon, it was still rumored from the roof of the house and the smell of fire smoke was tight around the residential buildings in the area.

"It is still burning in some parts of the construction and we will continue to work to extinguish and monitor the fire," says Henrik Hammarberg, rescue leader.

Why is it still burning?

- There is a lot of wood in the roof structure and we suspect that it is laminated beams that remain and burn right now.
