He says the people who live on the farm were quickly accounted for. They are attended to by paramedics at the scene. The police received a report that the barn had caught fire at 06.30 and that there were problems getting the horses out. – The horses are dead and a vet is on the way, says operations manager Per Eftang at the police. He says there has been too much smoke and heat so that they have not been able to get the horses out. Couldn’t rescue the animals The police initially reported that four horses had died, but the police’s team leader Jon Terje Stäheli says three horses and four rabbits have died. He says that residents tried to rescue the animals, but that they had to pull out because of the smoke. – Unfortunately, it was not possible to rescue any animals from the barn. At 07.40 the police report that the barn has almost burned down. The police do not know where the fire started. – The fire brigade is working to cool down nearby buildings, so that the fire does not spread to other buildings, says Eftang.
