“A violent fire has destroyed Folkets hus in Mörsil during the night,” one person wrote on Facebook along with a video of the devastating fire.
Pictures circulating on social media show the results of the fire that destroyed the house.
Christer Nilsson shared a picture on Facebook showing the aftermath of the fire.
“Mörsil people’s house!! “
Property owner Mikael Östling said on Saturday, August 6 after the fire: “My last few years have been extremely difficult. I have had to cut back on my expenses and the house was no longer insured. I can’t afford to rebuild the house, it will be an empty asphalt surface and some homeless.”
Mörsil’s folkhus, which was a property located between Åre and Östersund was over a hundred years old, had four people living in it. Thankfully they all escaped unharmed and were moved to another property.
