There have so far been no reports of any injuries. The fire is thought to have been caused by a gas leak.
“I was sitting working when I heard a powerful explosion,” Leif Jacobsen, who lives around 100 metres from the site of the accident, told Sydsvenskan.

Police have sealed off the area around the house as a precautionary measure.
