The day after the school shooting, the core message is "take care of each other", he explains.
Those who worked and were exposed yesterday evening will come here tonight so we can take extra care of them.
A large part of the staff at Nerikes fire department worked on Tuesday. About 30 people were on site, and roughly half were in close proximity.
Although the fire department, together with the police, has practiced for situations involving ongoing deadly violence, it's impossible to be fully prepared for what they faced yesterday, explains Ulf Smedberg.
You can prepare yourself based on many different scenarios and thus have some idea of what it's like. But when it becomes reality, it naturally exceeds everything.
They encounter scenes that you can't imagine, things that no one should have to see.
He emphasizes, however, that the fact that they have practiced for ongoing deadly violence has been valuable and provided a certain sense of security.
Even though you naturally don't feel safe when someone is shooting, you still get a sense of security in knowing how it's intended that we should act and work.
