The largest fire in Norway after World War II has occurred.
NRK has published information about this.
In the Krokstadelva settlement located 50 kilometers west of Oslo city, more than 100 residential houses have already burned, and the fire has spread to the nearby forest area.
Twelve fire trucks and two helicopters have been involved in extinguishing the fire. Four more helicopters will also be sent to the area. So far, 400 local residents have been evacuated. Ten people have been poisoned by smoke, two of whom were hospitalized.
It should be noted that against the backdrop of extreme hot and dry weather conditions observed at the beginning of July, large-scale forest fires also occurred in Spain, France, Portugal, and Greece./APA
