"Since this was such a major incident and seven people were seriously injured, seven ambulances would have been needed. That's quite a lot of resources," Fredrik Iwanson, an external commander at the Södra Älvsborg Rescue Service Association, tells the newspaper.
The teenagers struggled to get out of the burning garage. They eventually managed to force open a door with help from people outside, according to an emergency report, BT writes.
After the fire was extinguished, the firefighters had to assist the ambulance crew.
"It's a question of prioritization, which you decide together with the healthcare system based on the severity of the injuries. You assess with the healthcare system whether they can be transported in a vehicle other than an ambulance," Fredrik Iwanson tells BT.
All the injured were first taken to Södra Älvsborg Hospital in Borås. Three were then transferred elsewhere.
One of the teenagers is being treated for life-threatening injuries at Linköping University Hospital. His condition was unchanged on Sunday morning, according to an update from Region Östergötland.
Two people who were treated at Queen Silvia Children's Hospital in Gothenburg for minor injuries were discharged on Sunday, Sahlgrenska's press service reported.
Of the four at the hospital in Borås, two were assessed as seriously injured on Saturday, but all were reported to be in stable condition. One of them has now been discharged, according to Borås Tidning.
