There was a fierce fire in the Youth House in central Uppsala on Friday evening.

When the fire started, there were people in the building – but everyone is said to have escaped on their own.

There is no smoke diving going on and now it's just extinguishing work that remains, says Oscar Davila, operations leader at the rescue service, at around 20:00.

According to the rescue service, the fire started in a skateboard ramp in the building, but what caused the fire is still unknown.

A station will be leaving shortly and two will remain for extinguishing work, says Oscar Davila.

The police are on site and have set up barriers around the building.
