A residential house is burning on Kvalvåg in Gjemnes. The fire is not under control at 11 pm on Sunday night, the duty manager at the 110 exchange, Kjetil Iversen, informs.
– The five people who live there were at home, but got out before the fire brigade arrived, Iversen says.
They are taken care of by the emergency services on site.
The flames are through the roof
– The fire has spread through the roof, says operations manager in Møre og Romsdal police district, Roar Fylling.
– It burns from ridge to ridge. The whole house is about to be set on fire.
Has spread to the terrain
The fire was detected by the warning system in the house and has also spread to the terrain.
– Fortunately, it has rained a little, so a little moisture in the terrain hopefully helps the fire not to spread too much, says Fylling.
