The extinguishing work leads to a lot of smoke in the area, which has led to a halt in train traffic past the fire site, says Stokkli Bane Nor reports that this applies to train traffic between Grorud and Lillestrøm. Høybråtenveien between Starveien and Stovnerveien is also closed to traffic in connection with the fire.
