Two people are reported to have been injured, the Swedish Maritime Administration's Maritime and Air Rescue Center (JRCC) told GP.

According to Isac Östman, assistant sea rescue leader, the boat was taken out into open water so that the fire would not spread.

The alarm came in just after 1 p.m. An ambulance helicopter and two rescue boats were on site.

In the afternoon, JRCC confirmed that all units had left the scene.

The fire is extinguished and the operation is complete, rescue leader Fredrik Hermansson tells TT.
