A fire erupted early in the morning at a Coop supermarket in Vasastan, central Stockholm. Emergency services, including police and ambulances, quickly arrived at the scene after receiving the alarm at 07:11 AM. Eyewitness accounts describe thick plumes of gray smoke emanating from the store, leading to road closures and the evacuation of customers.

According to police spokesperson Anna Lärk, the source of the fire was identified as an item in the paper goods section of the store. The thick smoke filled the entire supermarket, but fortunately, reports indicate that there were no injuries to any customers or staff during this incident. Klemens Andersson, a passerby, noted the alarming sight of smoke and the resulting emergency response efforts.

The swift action by emergency personnel appears to have been effective in controlling the situation, ensuring that the area was secured and that the fire did not escalate further. Authorities are likely to investigate the cause of the fire and assess any damages done to the store as they manage the aftermath of this incident.
