Shortly after midnight on the night to Saturday, the rescue service received an alarm about a fire in a villa in Söderhamn. On site, the decision was made to let the building burn down to the ground. According to police, no one was injured in the incident and the ambulance could leave the scene empty-handed.
Police are now investigating public endangerment through negligence. A technical investigation will be conducted when the villa has cooled down. The cause of the fire has not been determined, and it is unclear who owns or occupies the villa.
The reason for letting the building burn down instead of extinguishing it remains unknown. The investigation is ongoing as authorities await the cooling of the structure.
