This morning, emergency services from Nordjyllands Beredskab are heavily deployed in the central area of Aalborg, where the roof of the swimming pool on Samsøgade is ablaze. Local police have also arrived at the scene. Authorities are urging residents in the vicinity to stay indoors and secure all doors, windows, and ventilation systems due to potentially harmful smoke.
