Evening Blaze on Laukulantie Renders Sastamala Home Uninhabitable

A detached house on Laukulantie in Sastamala was rendered uninhabitable after a fire on Monday evening. A resident spotted flames downstairs and called emergency services at about 17:00, Tamperelainen reports.

Two volunteer firefighters who were nearby drove straight to the scene. They used dry powder extinguishers to put out the visible blaze. Rescue department units later pulled apart sections of the structure to find and extinguish smouldering hotspots. No one was injured in the incident.

The blaze is the latest in a series of fires in Sastamala: earlier this month a house on Vatajantie was left uninhabitable and a vacant barn burned down without injuries.
