Significant Fire at Sunne Residential Facility Leads to Hospitalizations

A large fire erupted at a service housing facility in Sunne, Sweden, early on September 25, 2025, shortly before 3 AM. Emergency services responded rapidly, with alarms reported at 2:48 AM. Approximately 100 individuals were evacuated from the building, shaped like a horseshoe, as the fire quickly became fully developed, affecting both the roof and the southern part of the structure. According to Anna Kajsa Gullberg Dahl, team leader at SOS Alarm, the fire started on the eastern side and is under investigation to determine its exact cause, with the possibility of it originating from an apartment, balcony, or attic.

Two individuals, including an elderly woman, suffered injuries that necessitated hospitalization, although specific details regarding their conditions have not been disclosed. The fire prompted the deployment of emergency teams from five stations, ten ambulances, a helicopter, and police. While around 70 people were evacuated directly from the facility, many were relocated to local accommodations for safety. The local police are interviewing witnesses to collect further information regarding the incident, but no criminal charges have been established at this time.
