The house and the vehicles outside were well on fire. The house will become uninhabitable, says Nygård. – The fire developed violently. It started in the cars that were parked next to the old house on the farm, says Frode Johannessen, supervisor in the fire service. – When we received the message, there was already a full fire in the cars and spread to the old residential building on the farm, says Johannessen. – Now we have had a good effect from the extinguishing effort and have the fire under control. We are now engaged in back-extinguishing. Battery charging The police believe the fire started in a car battery that was being charged. – There must be a car that was waiting for charging outside the house, a 12 volt battery, says Nygård. – Based on witness statements, it may indicate that it is that car that has started to burn, and then that fire has spread to the other cars that were standing next to it, and the house, he says.
