The fire service received a report from a concerned resident at 09.17 about a possible block of ice on its way down the mountainside in Høyanger. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. – We have examined, looked with binoculars and been up and looked. It is not an ice jam, but water has been drained from a dam. There was water in a river, says guard commander Dan Inge Gjesdal in 110 West to news. The police were worried about damage, if what they thought was a block of ice, should come at great speed down the Hydro plant itself. County road 55 was closed at the scene. It also became the Kvernhaug tunnel. – It sounded dramatic, but there was no danger, says Gjedal. The police also confirm that it was a misunderstanding. All the emergency services have now gone home.
