Housing fire in Kongsvinger – one person has not been accounted for

Sunday at 12.08 there is a fire in a detached house in Kongsvinger municipality. One person has been evacuated from the home by a witness, while another person is missing, the police say.

– It is a person we have not come in contact with and have not been able to account for, says operations manager in the Inland police district, Bård Einar Hoft.

The home is located in a residential area with fairly scattered buildings, and it has not yet been assessed that there is a risk of spreading to other buildings.
