Suspect that the fire in the terraced house on Sola is arson – news Rogaland – Local news, TV and radio

– We suspect that the fire was arson. I don’t want to say much more now, says police attorney Erik Engløkk. The terraced house is made of wood and had three or four housing units. All housing units are uninhabitable as a result of the fire. Stavanger Aftenblad reported the case first. – We are investigating whether there is video surveillance of the sequence of events or that shows people coming to and from the area. All housing units must be uninhabitable as a result of the fire. There is no risk of spreading to neighboring buildings. The fire was first reported at 9:12 p.m., but at 10:58 p.m. the police reported that the fire had been extinguished. It kept watch at the rowhouse throughout the night. Today, the investigation continues, says Engløkk. – We are carrying out a technical and tactical investigation, and will have forensics technicians at the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. We will then interview any witnesses and neighbors to try to get closer to what has happened. When the fire brigade arrived at the fire yesterday, they sent in smoke divers. – The main focus yesterday was on the operational aspects of extinguishing the fire from the fire service’s side and evacuation. There was also some questioning of those who were present, says Engløkk. Published 30.11.2024, at 09.58 Updated 30.11.2024, at 10.06
