The fire broke out during Wednesday evening and the people have been evacuated to a nearby school. The rescue service continues to combat the fire that has spread downwards in the building during the night and morning.
Right now, the fire is not under control. The fire broke out on the roof or in the attic and has since spread downwards in the walls. It's a slightly complicated construction, says Emil Ring, duty officer at Rescue Center East, early in the morning.
The rescue service is present during the morning with three stations and expects to need to stay until around 2 pm.
I wouldn't say that we have control yet, but the fire has at least subsided. We remove panels to get to everywhere where we need to extinguish, but there is no risk of spread to other buildings, says Andreas Blomquist, duty officer.
No person is reported to be injured according to the police.
