Fire in container, Gothenburg

Rescue service	Gothenburg Rescue Service, greater region
Fire station	Gårda and others
Alarm cause	Fire in a container.
Effect
Situation by arrival	Fire in a container. The fire had spread to the overlying building barracks that were used as changing rooms.
Tactics	Ventilation, indoor firefighting with BA-equipment and the cutting extinguisher.
Method	We began with exterior firefighting and continued with indoor firefighting with BA-equipment, to be able to ventilate the barracks and if possible access the fire from inside. The fire was though difficult to access so we ordered the cutting extinguisher. With the coldcut™ cobra we started to extinguish the fire from the side into the ceiling, then punctured on the roof and finally with extinguishing from inside, one floor up.
Summary	The operation went better than expected. Thanks to the cutting extinguisher we could stop this fire much faster. This method made it much easier to access all the smoldering fires.
