July 11, 2022 at 02:14 Barn fire spread to a storage cage in Nome A barn and a storage cage were completely damaged in a fire at Ulefoss in Nome in Telemark on Monday night. There are no animals in the barn, according to police. The emergency services were notified of the fire in Ulefoss at 1.38 on Monday night. Firefighters were on the scene about 20 minutes later. The barn was completely overheated when the fire crews arrived at the place near the intersection between Håvevegen and Skiensveien, a few kilometers east of Ulefoss. It was first reported that the fire had spread to a residential house, which turned out to be wrong. – The fire has spread to a nearby storage cage, not to the residential house as we first thought. It also burns a little in the terrain. But it looks like the main house on the farm can be salvaged. We are concentrating on that, says duty manager Tim Vold at Sørøst 110-central to NTB. According to the police, the residents have escaped from the burning house. There are no animals in the barn either.
