The rescue service estimates that it will burn for three days.

Right now it is burning in Värmeverket on Energigatan in Norrköping.

The fire burns in a large pile of chips. A VMA now warns about the development of smoke.

– It will probably burn for three days, we wait now, says Ulf Asplund from the rescue service.

It’s Eon’s heating plant whose huge pile of chips and pellets caught fire.

– It is not in the heating plant, but outside that they have such huge batteries, says Ulf Asplund, operator of the Östra Götaland rescue service.

The fire is intense and not under control.

– Right now we are focusing on trying to prevent the fire from spreading to the other piles, says Ulf Asplund.

A VMA, an important announcement to the public, has been issued in connection with the fire. The strong development of smoke means that everyone in the area is encouraged to enter and close doors, windows, and ventilation in case of discomfort.

According to information from Aftonbladet, several helicopters are on the way to help the rescue service with fire fighting.
