– There has been a fire and heavy smoke in a kitchen. As of now, there is no risk of spread. The fire service is working to clear the building so that residents can return soon, says operations manager Thomas Khan in the Oslo police district.
No injured persons have been reported. The residents must have evacuated themselves.
– We are on site and will investigate what has happened, says the operations manager to NTB.
The emergency services were notified of the fire just before 8 o’clock. About half an hour later, the police stated that the fire was under control.
The fire started in a kitchen connected to a restaurant on the building’s first floor. The fire brigade feared that the fire had spread to the building’s ventilation system.
Parts of the construction were opened up to prevent spreading, informs Oslo 110-sentral on X.
Smoke divers were also sent into the building.
