A fire at a construction site has caused heavy smoke development in central Gothenburg, reports local media.

The fire is reported to have started in a blasting mat at a construction site near Götaplatsen.

The rescue service states to Göteborgs-Posten that there is currently no danger to the public.

We are on site and have released the mats. We are trying to lift and extinguish now but it will probably take half an hour or an hour, says the rescue service's control center to GP.
