At eleven o’clock the fire was not yet under control.
– No, not in the barracks where the fire is, however, we are able to resist it spreading to other houses, as it stands now, says Thomas Ljunggren.
200 people live in houses that burn or adjacent to the fire.
– We have tried to shout and call and get the people out of the real estate in around. We call on doors and try to ensure that there is no one left, told Jerker Sture Dahl of emergency in the morning.
A large part of the rescue work in the morning was to let the firemen investigate the buildings to ensure that there are not more people there.
– But we did not find any more people, says Thomas Ljunggren.
The municipal leaders called affected residents to a meeting at City Hall on the occasion of the fire in the wooden town of Eksjö. The wooden town in the Old Town of Eksjö was founded in 1568 and is described as a unique cultural treasure with one of Sweden’s oldest cohesive wooden buildings.
