The rescue service: "Most affected parts evacuated"

- The work that is in full swing right now is that we try to evacuate the properties and ensure that those affected have come out to safety.

To find the fire and get it extinguished as soon as possible, says Josefin Hybring, press spokesperson for the rescue service in Greater Gothenburg.

Early this morning, the rescue service was on site after the extensive explosion that hit an apartment building in central Gothenburg.

For over three hours, they must have worked to get control of the fire, the heavy smoke development and to get the building evacuated.

- The most affected parts must be evacuated, but this is also happening in the adjacent parts.
