The alarm about the first fire, in a garbage container behind a school, came just before noon on Sunday.
When the rescue service was on its way to it, they received the next alarm.
Then a sweeper was on fire, just a few hundred meters from the first fire.
- And now there is a car fire inside Skara.
In addition, we have a car fire in Götene as well.
So there are many fires now, states Stefan Johansson, internal commander of the rescue service, a couple of hours after the first alarm.
That it starts to burn in a work machine can have natural explanations, right?
- Yes, but it burned in the foot roller on it and it is perhaps not the most common that it catches fire right there. If you speculate, you can imagine that the fires were started, but that is a question for the police. They are connected now, says Stefan Johansson.
