They are unfortunately completely exhausted, all four of them, but we have prevented the spread to the two other apartments in the building, says Jimmy Andersson Taylor at the rescue service.

A VMA, important message to the public, was issued to people in the area, urging them to stay away, but it was lifted at 1 pm.

The fire-ravaged row house and an adjacent property of the same size have been evacuated. One person who inhaled smoke from the fire has been taken to hospital for control, otherwise no one else is reported to have been injured.

We have a gathering place at a nearby restaurant. There are several actors helping the affected, says Jimmy Andersson Taylor.

The extinguishing work is expected to continue throughout the afternoon and possibly even during the evening.

It is unclear what caused the fire. The police are on site and assisting the rescue service.
