The alarm about the house fire came in just before 6 pm on Saturday night.
But when the rescue service arrived at the scene, the assessment was made that the overheated building should be allowed to burn down.

Road was closed
The heavy rainfall that fell also caused county road 311, just north of Sälen, to be forced to close.
The shutdown has taken place at the height of Gravendal.
According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the road is judged to have been undermined, which creates some detours for those heading north.
The road will be repaired and thus it will continue to be closed until at least July 13.
