According to Niklas Hammarlund, the house is completely engulfed in flames and the emergency services let it burn down and devote themselves to protecting adjacent buildings.

According to a neighbor that SVT Gävleborg spoke to, the residents must have gotten out and are unharmed, something that is confirmed by Kent Sjöberg, who is an emergency commander at the rescue service.

- It happened very quickly, when I got there, flames shot out of the window, says Daniel Sjöholm, who himself lives 75 meters from the fire-ravaged house.

The emergency services from Söderhamn and Bollnäs are on site and are currently focusing on preventing the fire from spreading.
