In Sweden, firefighters fought a fire at the Liseberg theme park in Gothenburg for the third day in a row on Wednesday.
According to the fire brigade, the extinguishing work was difficult because the affected structure was in danger of collapsing. “There is a fire in the load-bearing walls of the building and we cannot access individual parts of the building due to the increased risk of collapse,” the fire brigade said. On Monday, a fire broke out in Sweden’s largest theme park.
One person has been missing since then. The fire, which had previously been brought under control, flared up again on Tuesday evening. The fire brigade could not predict how long the extinguishing work will take on Wednesday due to the risk of collapse.
Huge cloud of black smoke over the city
According to the park operator, the fire probably broke out outside the new Oceana Waterworld attraction, which is still under construction. Flames burned meters high, explosions destroyed a water slide and a huge cloud of black smoke hung over the city. Then the fire burned through the entire building. According to the police, 16 people were slightly injured.
The water park is part of an expansion of the theme park that was due to open this year. Police say they have launched an investigation into gross negligence and breaches of workplace health and safety regulations.
