Fire Breaks Out at Aalborg Swimming Pool; Residents Warned

Early Tuesday morning, a fire broke out at the swimming pool located on Østre Allé in Aalborg, according to Nordjylland Police (Nordjyllands Politi). The North Jutland Emergency Services (Nordjyllands Beredskab) are currently engaged in firefighting efforts, and the incident has been reported on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The blaze, classified as a roof fire, has prompted police to assist in the response.

Authorities are advising residents in the area to stay indoors, keep windows and doors closed, and turn off any ventilation systems due to the heavy smoke, which is considered harmful. The areas to be avoided include Bornholmsgade, Fynsgade, Lollandsgade, and regions enclosed by Samsøgade and Bernstorffsgade.

In addition, the police have issued an emergency alert and activated a siren warning system to notify residents directly through their phones. Søren Pejtersen, head of the police command stations, emphasized that efforts are underway to protect people in the vicinity. This includes establishing roadblocks, which are expected to disrupt traffic on Sønderbro and Østre Allé.

Fortunately, there were no individuals present in the swimming pool at the time of the fire, and therefore, there is no immediate threat to human life. The emergency response team has mobilized an incident commander, damage assessment leader, and five response vehicles from Nibe, while the Brønderslev emergency services stand ready for any further incidents. The fire was reported at 08:23 AM.
