00.38. A man in his 50s calls and says that a bus hit him outside Burger King on Östra Torggatan. Resources are dispatched to the scene.

Fire, Kristinehamn
22.09. SOS Alarm receives a report of a fire in an apartment building in Sanna. The caller says there is a smell of smoke in the stairwell and that a fire is burning in the basement.
