The fire service reports at 00.16 that there will be an on-site inspection after a fire started in a four-person house in Vestnes in Møre og Romsdal.
– They have just reported that they have control and are engaged in subsequent extinguishing. This was very demanding, it was completely overheated, says Rian Morrison at the 110 central to NRK at 00:17.
He states that the fire brigade will now enter the flats and make sure that the heat and flames have not spread further.

At 23.12 a fire was reported. Large forces were called out after reports of open flames and fire that had spread to the outer cladding.
For a while there was a danger that the fire would spread to the other apartments in the four-person home, via an attic.
There is a dry and yellow warning in Møre og Romsdal and several counties after an unusually long period without precipitation.
Residents are evacuated
One person lives in the flat where the fire started, while a total of three live in the entire four-person home.
Everyone must be outside and unharmed.
The police confirmed this shortly before midnight.
The police state that the three who live in the building are being evacuated and are being offered to live somewhere else until further notice.

According to the police, at 11.34 pm the worst of the flames had been put down and the fire brigade worked to prevent it from spreading to neighboring homes.
The police, health, residual value rescue from Ålesund and e-works also got out.
It is very dry in many places in the country. On Saturday there were several fires in the terrain in Norway.
