There has been a severe fire in a house in Nordre Follo. – There are sparks that spread to vegetation, so-called flying fires, said duty manager at East 110 central, Espen Stabell. There was a risk of it spreading to other buildings, but at 4.10pm Stabell announced that the fire was under control. – To us, it appears that no one was in the house. The house must be unoccupied.
