A FIRE BROKE OUT IN A CROWDED FITNESS center during lunch time in Stockholm today.  There were approx. 30 people inside at the time, some trapped in the showers.  So far, six people have been taken to the hospital, including two firefighters.

Fire officials say that they believe everyone was evacuated safely.  The area is still sequestered and the fire department is still operating on the scene.  The latest report from The Local is HERE.

The Expressen news site has a VIDEO HERE.  Click on the link that says “TV:  Gymmet Exploderar”  The headline is referring to the flashover that rolls out over the firefighters in front of the building.  (If you understand Swedish, tells us what they’re saying in the Comments)
