The fire is moving towards the boathouse and cabins in Vestbøvika, and that is where the fire service has concentrated its efforts.

At the same time that the fire service is working to put out the fire, the police are searching the area for the young people who were seen running from the city. They want to get in touch with the young people to confirm or deny whether they had anything to do with the fire. Difficult to get to – There is quite a lot of smoke, and the fire is burning in an area that is quite difficult for the fire engines to get to, says Kjell-Aleksander Skogsrud, who lives in the neighbourhood. He says that it is 100-150 meters from the fire to the nearest houses and that there is a forest between the fire and the smoke. – There are fairly calm wind conditions here now, he says.
