26 July 2024 at 12:22 Fire in a single-family home in Bergen An explosive fire has been reported in a single-family home in Loddefjord in Bergen. West police district states that a petrol can may have caught fire. A man in his 40s has got out of the house and is receiving medical attention on the spot. He is awake and aware. The resident reported the fire himself. It was initially unclear whether there were several people at home, but the fire service and the police inform news that the house is empty and that no one is missing. Open flames have been observed from the detached house. The 110 central informs that there is a fire in the basement, and smoke is coming out. The fire service is on the scene with personnel from three stations. – They haven’t gone in, we assume it’s still burning. There is always a slight risk of spreading, but for now it is limited to the interior of the building, says guard commander Sigurd Hadeland. – There is no danger of spreading now, and we expect the fire service to be able to extinguish the fire. But we don’t know if there is more petrol in there. It must be clarified, says operations manager Knut Dahl Michelsen in the West police district.
