We have a frozen situation. We are on site and are checking how we will proceed with this, says Kim Hellberg, control operator at the rescue service.

The factory was in operation when the leak occurred and all who were in the building have been evacuated, according to the rescue service.

There is no danger to the public.

We will make sure that there are no after-effects of these substances, that they start burning or something similar, says Kim Hellberg.
