The cars were just outside a row of six apartment buildings, and those who live there have been evacuated. – When I arrived, they were outside in their pyjamas, says fire chief in Sunnfjord, Bernhard Øberg. Just before the house caught fire – We moved out with the five-person watch team, but considered whether to sound the full alarm. The cars were close to the row of houses, and one house has suffered heat damage. I was close to a house fire. Øberg says that little wind contributed to the fact that the houses did not start burning. The fire service was notified of the fire at 06.15. After a short time they were in control. CAR FIRE: Several of the cars on the right started burning early on Tuesday morning. Photo: Julianne Flølo / news The fire spreads easily The cause of the fire is unknown. – If the fire has started in one car, it is easily contagious when they are so close together. There were people in five of the six houses, and it is unclear what time they can move home again. The fire brigade is carrying out subsequent extinguishing operations at the site. – We cool down the cars, and they are moved gradually. It was people in the area who reported the fire.
