Motorhome Fires in Norway: Three Incidents in a Week
Original source: Namdalsavisa

In Brief

Three motorhome fires occurred in Norway within a week: in Namsskogan, Tennfjord, and Sotra. There are casualties, one vehicle completely burned out.

Three motorhome fires have been reported in Norway over the past week. The most recent occurred in Namsskogan at the Nyheim campsite on Wednesday morning. The alarm was raised at 10:47, and the fire was extinguished by 11:29. Three people were examined by medics on site and taken to hospital. According to firefighters, the motorhome was fully engulfed in flames, with heavy smoke. Firefighters arrived within minutes, as the station is 400–500 meters away, and prevented the fire from spreading to the campsite's administrative building. One person suffered superficial burns; the others were unharmed. The motorhome was completely destroyed.

Two other fires occurred on Thursday. In Tennfjord, a motorhome caught fire in the evening while driving: the owner stopped the vehicle, removed a gas cylinder, and was examined by medics. The alarm was raised at 20:36, and the fire was extinguished by 21:01. On the island of Sotra, firefighters responded to a report of a fire in a residential trailer, but found a motorhome burning instead. The vehicle was completely burned out; the owner was elsewhere, and no injuries were reported. Police have opened an investigation.
