A fire has broken out in an industrial building on Orust.

The rescue service was alerted at 4 pm and is on site with seven units.

There is a risk of spreading. They are working to limit the fire from the outside. It seems like there is quite a lot to do there, says Helen Wickberg, team leader at SOS Alarm, to TT.

Is there a risk that the general public will be affected?

Not the general public. I wouldn't think so.

The extinguishing work is expected to continue until at least 8:30 pm on Monday. According to the person who reported the alarm, a gas pipe with the substance acetylene caught fire in the building. The information has not been confirmed by the rescue service.
