It will burn far into the night. It is a larger scrap heap with, among other things, cars that are burning, says Lotta Molander at the rescue service to Göteborgs-Posten.

The police are helping to set up barriers, as some onlookers have gone too close to the scene of the fire.

The bangs that have been heard from the fire are harmless.

It is old pressure vessels, gas cylinders and spray cans that are burning, so that's what it sounds like, says Micael Olsson, also at the rescue service.
