Title: Local Firefighter Rescues Neighbors from Smoke-Filled Home
On Saturday, November 25th, Stefan Blixt, a 48-year-old force leader in the Karlsborg Fire Department, found himself in the midst of a rescue operation instead of enjoying a planned free evening with his wife. A senior residence near their home had caught fire, and smoke was billowing out of the building.
Stefan’s father, Ulf, first noticed the fire and used a powder extinguisher to put out the flames in the winter-insulated conservatory. Stefan then sprang into action, rushing inside the smoke-filled home to rescue an elderly couple. He managed to get the lady out first, followed by her husband, who were both lightly dressed despite the frigid temperatures. Stefan even went back inside to retrieve jackets for the couple before returning to try to blow out the smoke.
His colleagues from the fire department arrived shortly after to take over the operation. Stefan emphasized that the situation could have been much worse had they not acted quickly and efficiently. The effort has attracted attention in Karlsborg and the elderly couple has expressed their gratitude.
Stefan Blixt, who is “passionate about his job,” wished to remind everyone about the dangers of leaving candles unattended, especially during the holiday season. The local hero sends a greeting to all the readers, just in time for the first Advent.
Stefan Blixt is a 48-year-old force leader in the rescue service, residing with his family in a villa in Karlsborg. He is married to Marlén and they have three sons and two daughters.
This heroic act showcases the true spirit of a dedicated and selfless firefighter, willing to go above and beyond to ensure the safety and wellbeing of his neighbors.
