UPDATE, 14:10: Mogens Brøndum, the police commissioner of east-Jutland, has warned all residents in the area to seek medical aid if they've inhaled the toxic fumes from the fire.

"The health inspector has informed me that there is a risk of a formation of hydrochloric acid in the lungs if you inhale the smoke from the fire," Brøndum told Ekstra Bladet tabloid.
