Seven teenagers were injured in the fire. All were initially taken to Södra Älvsborg Hospital in Borås. Two were transferred to Queen Silvia Children's Hospital in Gothenburg, and one was flown by helicopter to the burn centre in Linköping.
According to the region's injury report on Saturday morning, the person receiving intensive care in Linköping has life-threatening injuries.
Serious but stable
The condition of the four teenagers being treated at Södra Älvsborg Hospital is stable.
“According to an updated casualty report at 8am, the condition of the four patients remains serious but stable,” says Alexandra Perez Liberg of the hospital's press service.
Borås Tidning reports that the two who were transferred to Queen Silvia Children's Hospital are slightly injured.
The alarm about the fire, which occurred in Fristad in Borås municipality, was raised shortly before 7pm on Friday.
“A group of young people have been tinkering in the garage and a small amount of gasoline has leaked out and it has ignited,” Viktor Fritzson, external commander and rescue leader, told Borås Tidning on Friday evening.
No suspect
The police have filed a report of negligence causing public danger.
“There is no suspect, but we will look into this more closely to find out what happened,” says police spokesperson Caroline Nylander.
The fire-damaged garage is cordoned off. Police technicians arrived at the scene on Saturday afternoon to conduct an investigation, Borås Tidning reports.
Borås has activated its crisis support. The church building and a recreation centre in Fristad are open on Saturday and Sunday to welcome anyone who wants to talk to someone.
