A thick smoke cloud rose from 15 burning mopeds at Odenplan in Stockholm on Saturday morning. The fire started in one of the mopeds and spread to the others, but could be quickly extinguished. The rescue service received a large number of alarms and the smoke spread in the direction of Stockholm's city library and a gym, says control operator Jonas Wahlstrand.

The fire is under control, what we're doing now is controlling the smoke spread, he says.

The mopeds were parked less than three meters from the nearest building.
