The emergency services went to the apartment complex in Tistedal in Halden on Sunday evening. – It is burning and there is a danger that it will spread to the neighboring residence, East police district reported on X at 10.34 p.m. Just over an hour later, incident leader Arve Hermansen in East police district said that the fire service had got the fire under control. – There was a full fire on the second floor of the apartment complex when we arrived at the scene. An apartment is described as burnt out, so there has also been spread to the attic. An apartment which is next to the wall has suffered smoke damage, he tells news. Two people in the building Hermansen further says that there were two people at the address when the fire started. Both are taken care of by health personnel. – One has been taken to the emergency room with minor injuries and one has been taken to an evacuation hotel. Fortunately, there have been minimal injuries. Can you say anything about the cause of the fire? – No, it is too early to say anything about. There are still smoke divers inside the apartment. Then it must be cold and smoke-free before the police can start their investigations. Duty commander at the 110 center East, Leif Høyland, told news at 11.10pm that the fire crews will be on site throughout the evening. – The crews on site have started to knock down some flames. But it is extensive work, so we will be there for quite some time to come.
