- Both fires will be investigated separately.
Of course, we will investigate whether there is any connection between them.
But there is nothing in the current situation that indicates that there is any connection, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, press spokesperson for the police, region Mitt.
Both fires will be investigated as general negligence.
Not because there is any particular suspicion, but to be able to investigate the causes of the fires, according to Magnus Jansson Klarin.
Technical examination awaits
When the wood company has stopped burning, the police will carry out a technical investigation.
- Flammable products are stored at the wood company, but we will find out what caused them to start burning.
He understands that the question is raised by the public.
- When two large fires occur within the course of a short period.
Do not believe in connection
Johan Kallin Stropp, operations manager for Gästrike rescue service, sees no direct common connections between the fires, nor does he.
- I do not think there is a connection.
These are unfortunate coincidences and circumstances, he tells SVT's reporter at the fire scene.
