The fire service has control over “extensive” fires

On Monday around 12 o’clock, emergency services move out after a report of a fire in a garage in Roverud – close to Kongsvinger.

The fire is “extensive”, write the police who say they have no control.

– Fire has triggered a full alarm, the police write on Twitter.

– It is an extensive fire with several cars, a garage and a residential house, says operations manager Kristian Bjaanes in the Inland police district. Wind on site makes the extinguishing work difficult, and there is a risk of spreading.

The police were notified of the fire through AMK.

The fire service is on site and is now working to get an overview to put the resources in the right place.

– It burns well on site in a residential house, garage and cars. It burns in the grass around, so there is still a danger of spreading, says duty manager Ole Stenbrenden at the 110 exchange to TV 2.

It is too early to say anything about the cause of the fire.

At 12.35, the police report that the fire service has gained control of the fire, and that work is now being done to put it out.

– It has burned in a garage, two cars, an outbuilding, the police write. In addition, a home has suffered heat damage.
