The fire was otherwise limited to a single department, but it spread through the roof structures.
Southern Ostrobothnia A 8,000-square-meter industrial hall in Alajärvi Yhdystie is burning, where several companies operate.
The extinguishing work was badly underway on Thursday morning. The fire inside the hall had been contained to the department of one company, which suffered extensive damage, but the fire was still smoldering and spreading in the roof structures. The departments of other companies in the hall had also suffered at least smoke damage.
Firefighter on duty Keijo Kangastie described that the fire was under control, but the situation was challenging because the roof had to be dismantled with the help of lifting platforms and grapples. He estimates that the extinguishing works will last for a good while.
“You can’t get to work here in the morning. The electricity has been out for a long time.”
