– We had all the margins on our side today. That’s what Bjørn Rønning, fire chief in the Værnes region, says. It was during the extinguishing of a large farm fire in Hegra in Stjørdal on Friday that one of the constables came close to getting a brick pipe in the head. No residents were injured, but the apartment building was lost in the fire. The large farmhouse on the farm was lost in the fire in Hegra.

He was sent for a health check, and was slightly bruised on his forearm. He should otherwise be in good shape, and has been declared healthy. – We often balance on a knife’s edge, and sometimes unforeseen things happen that we have no control over, says Rønning. The fire was streamed, and they have already seen film of what happened. – One of the reasons why we have invested in streaming equipment on our vehicles is that we should learn from such incidents. We will use the film to evaluate together with the crew. 50 cows had to be evacuated, as there was a long-standing danger that the fire would spread to the barn.

The barn is close to the house and the 50 animals were moved to a suitable area. The veterinary guard at Stjørdal has also assisted. It was a demanding job to get the animals out, but all the animals on the farm were saved. – Could have been much worse The fire was very extensive. – This could have gone so much worse. I have spoken to the constable and he is a bit shaken. You realize the seriousness afterwards when you have seen the film, says the fire chief. They will take new rounds with the crew and review the incident to learn. – We want to be the best possible, and must learn from incidents like this. Then we deal with it differently next time.
