The alarm came to the rescue service at 01.12 during the night towards Tuesday. A villa on Kromvägen in Njurunda had started to burn.

When the emergency services arrived at the scene, the villa was already overcrowded.

- It's totally damaged. We haven't been able to do much about the fire itself. We have protected surrounding homes and garages, ”says Henrik Cedergren, internal commander of the rescue service, at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning.

No contact with the owner

The police have tried to get hold of the person who lives in the villa. But it has not succeeded. It is unclear if the person may have been in the villa when the fire started.

- There is a car parked in the yard, says police communicator Maria Linné.

A technical examination of the fire site will be done at a later stage.

"It has not been possible to do any search inside the house yet," says the rescue officer's internal commander Henrik Cedergren.
