A dramatic incident unfolded on Christmas Day at Ica Haga in Västerås when a fire, allegedly started by a woman, ravaged the supermarket.
The first larmsamtal (emergency calls) to SOS captured the chaos and concern for any remaining customers inside.
The incident led to an intense rescue operation, with firefighters battling to control the fire and search for survivors.
The woman, known to be a regular customer and described by store employees as previously friendly, now faces trial for arson and possibly other charges.
The trial, which began this week, has brought to light the harrowing moments of the fire and the community's shock at the suspect's actions.
