Scrap Cargo Fire

Scrap Cargo Fire

A fire broke out in the cargo hold of the 1768 dwt freighter Rebecca Rousing while moored at the Stallbacka harbour in Trollhättan, Sweden.  The fire started in the cargo of scrap cars which spread a thick acrid smoke over the area.   A port crane was initially used to pull out the burning cargo, but emergency services were called out and were able to get the fire under control.   No reports of injuries.    An assessment to the extent of damage caused by fire is to be conducted.
