The village house in Orminge is currently on fire.

Police are now investigating the incident as an alleged arson.

– The burglar alarm went off a few minutes before the fire alarm went off, Ola Österling from the Stockholm Police.

It is burning in Folkets hus in Orminge in the Nacka municipality on the outskirts of Stockholm.

– It is a two-story wooden building. 20 times 50 meters. It is a fully developed fire in the northern part of the building, says Patrick Johansson of the Södertörn fire service.

The alarm went off at 04:14 and the rescue service currently has about 40 firefighters on the scene.

– The construction of the roof of the building begins to give way and then it is very difficult for us to limit the fire in the building. So the building is likely to burn down, says Patrick Johansson.

There is a risk of spread on the site with the rescue service focusing its work on limiting it.

It is unclear what caused the fire, but police are investigating the incident as arson.

– The burglar alarm went off a few minutes before the fire alarm went off. We do not have any suspected perpetrators at this time, but we will continue to investigate this during the day, says Ola Österling, press spokesperson for the Stockholm Police.

At 9.45, the rescue service announced that the fire was under control and that there was no risk of it spreading. The extinction work, on the other hand, will continue for a long time.

– The construction of the building may collapse and therefore it is not safe for our staff to work near the building. We extinguish high-rise vehicles. The work will probably continue until tomorrow, says Mikael Nygen, operations manager of the Södertörn fire brigade association.
