The alarm was received just before 11 o'clock. The building must be completely overheated.

- There's nothing to do.

We let it burn down, says Thomas Andersson at the Rescue Service in Halmstad.

A total of eight units are in place.

- All residents must be out of the villa.

One person has been burned in the hand and has received care on the spot, says Hans-Jörgen Ostler, the police's press spokesperson.

The rescue service works to control the fire and the risk of spreading must be low.

- We suspect that the fire started on the terrace, but we should not speculate on how, says Hans-Jörgen Ostler.

The rescue service is expected to remain for two hours.
