Aircraft fuel caught fire at the airport in Karlstad on Friday afternoon.

There were two smaller tanks with jet fuel on a few trailers. In total, it was just under a cubic meter of fuel, says Oscar Siljehav Lilja, officer in charge at the rescue service, to TT.

The fire also spread to a van. The trailers were standing near a hangar.

The alarm about the fire came at 15.54, writes Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.

It's extinguished now. The airport fire brigade was the first to arrive, says Oscar Siljehav Lilja at around 16.30.

Forces from several stations also participated in the work. There is no information about anyone being injured in the fire.
