The emergency services are on the scene. There is full ignition in the home. Earlier on Thursday evening, there was a risk of spreading to other houses. Just after 9 p.m., the fire service reports that they have it under control and that there is no danger of spreading.
– The fire has gone out of the building and it is burning out of the windows. We have just arrived at the location and do not know much more as of now, Homme told VG earlier on Thursday evening.
Two houses on the site have been evacuated following the fire. As of 9 p.m., it does not look as if more houses will need to be evacuated. The police are in contact with those who live at the address in question.
