A large fire broke out on Saturday morning in a waste facility in Häljestorp in Vänersborgs municipality.

By 19:00, the fire was under control.

At present, it looks very good, there is no risk of spreading, says Tero Paakki, duty officer at the rescue service.

The fire caused a significant smoke development and a so-called VMA was issued, an "important message to the public", to avoid the smoke.

It's difficult to estimate how much has burned. The extinguishing work will continue throughout the night, says Tero Paakki.
