The fire broke out in a barn early Friday evening and spread to surrounding buildings and terrain, reports SVT Nyheter Örebro.

The firefighting effort has been extensive and a man is suspected of negligence causing public danger after the incident. Several people have been taken to hospital, reports Nerikes Allehanda.

The suspect himself had no serious injuries. Also two firefighters were affected. One inhaled smoke and the other has a wound to the face. But this should not be a matter of serious injuries overall, says Maths Thörn, duty officer at the police, to the newspaper.

At midnight, the fire was still burning, but under control.
