“Multifamily in flames – residents were evacuated”
“An apartment block in Perth caught fire during Saturday night.”
“Flames as high as the house, struck up from the roof.”
“The residents evacuated spontaneously.”
“the Alarm came 21.20. The wind on the trevåningshuset was in flames and on the images from the initial stage of the fire we can see the flames as high as the building, struck up towards the sky.”
“the Emergency services had 27 firefighters from five stations on site. The work was concentrated to limit the fire so that it would not spread downwards to the apartments.”
“At the 01-the time was Alf Törnkvist, räddningschef in store, to conclude that the fire was under control.”
“– It has gone very well. Three-quarters of the wind has received a burn of. The apartments have not been burnt, even if there is water damage on two levels, ” he says.”
” It has been an advantage for us that the house is made of concrete. It was a natural barrier down from the attic.”
“A woman who lives in the house tells us that the evacuation took place spontaneously before the fire brigade came.”
” It was a neighbor who called at the door with me and said that it burned. We felt that it smelled of smoke also. We stuck with what we had. It was I, the daughter and the cats. We had with us cell phone and keys, but no jackets.”
“No people were injured in the fire. Some 60 residents were evacuated to a hotel in Perth where they were registered.”
“– Ten have had to take into the hotel, the rest arranged for their own accommodation, ” says Alf Törnkvist.”
