The alarm about the fire came at 05:30 on Sunday morning.
When the emergency services arrived at the scene, the building was already engulfed in flames. Four units were on site during the morning and are working with extinguishing.
Because the building burned so heavily, the emergency services tried to protect adjacent premises. No one was injured in connection with the fire.
Strong smoke development
Anders Hägglund says that the emergency services received several calls from the area due to the development of smoke during the morning.
– People think it’s a forest fire. But there should be no danger to the public because the weather is fine and the smoke goes straight up.
Building with restaurant
According to the golf club, it is the restaurant in the area that burned down. It is still unclear how it will affect the club, but the track should be open as usual.
– We are blowing tracks off the course, says John Held Barkskog, club director.
The police are investigating the incident as suspected arson. The site has been cordoned off and the police will carry out a technical investigation.
– We have not found any natural reason for the fire, says Angelica Israelsson Silfver, press spokesperson at the police.
No one is currently a suspect in the case.
