There is nothing to suggest that the fire was started intentionally.
The police operations manager strongly urges that no one speculate about the cause of the fire, which has cost many people their homes.
The most serious fire in modern times in Norway has paralyzed an entire community. How could it have happened like this? The police are now searching for clues in the remains of charred houses. Now there is a first idea of what happened.
Smoke is still rising from the burned-out townhouses. Now the police have cordoned off a suspicious area – and are warning those affected. – It is very dangerous, it is hot and not safe, the police say at a press conference.
However, it is still too hot in the area for a technical investigation to be started.
The fire could flare up again, as the ground is very hot. Norwegian police believe they have identified the cause of the fire that destroyed more than 100 terraced houses, several Norwegian newspapers report. The fire is suspected to have started as a result of damage or by itself, said Simon Gerhardsen, head of the forensic investigation team, in an interview with local newspaper Drammens Tidende.
