The alarm about the fire came at 4 p.m.
- It is about an ancillary building on an agricultural property.
Among other things, boards have been stored in the building, says Karls-Magnus Larsson, external officer at the rescue service in Kristianstad.
May burn down
Thirteen firefighters are involved in the extinguishing work, but the building will not be able to be saved.
It will burn down under controlled conditions.
- When we arrived, there was definitely a risk of spreading to adjacent buildings and forest and land where it is very dry.
Now we have the fire under control, says Karl-Magnus Larsson.
Taken to hospital
Before the rescue service arrived, the property owner tried to extinguish.
- He was taken to hospital with minor injuries due to the smoke and heat but felt well under the circumstances, says Karl-Magnus Larsson.
It is unclear why the fire started.
