06:00 today the fire brigade were called to a fire in an industrial area. As they left the station they already knew that nothing could be done.
It was the so called "german warehouses (Swedish: Tyskmagasinen) that was burning.
The warehouses were built in the early 1900s and were used to store pulp. During WWII they were used to store supplies (food) etc for German troops in norway. (A blot in swedish history that should never be forgotten)
Until today the area were used by the Railway Society Malmbanans Vänner to store their collection of vehicls and a museum. None of their vehicles could be saved as the fire spread to all the vehicles in the yard.
The season for their train runnings was just about to start but now the future of the society is uncertain.
