Norway wildfire razes over 100 homes in Drammen suburb
A massive fire broke out on Friday afternoon around 15:30 in the Krokstadelva neighbourhood of Drammen, Norway. Strong southerly winds and dry conditions caused the flames to spread rapidly through a row‑house area and into adjoining forest, destroying more than 100 homes.
More than 400 residents were evacuated to temporary shelters, hotels and friends' homes. No fatalities have been reported; a few emergency workers suffered minor injuries and eight police officers inhaled smoke. Firefighting resources included over 100 firefighters, several civil‑defence units, six water‑dropping helicopters and support from the Directorate for Civil Protection. Helicopter operations were halted after dark, complicating the effort.
The blaze is described by authorities as the largest peacetime fire in Norway in a century. Justice Minister Astri Aas‑Hansen, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Drammen’s mayor visited the site and pledged continued assistance. Weather forecasts of rain offered some hope, but officials warned that shifting winds could threaten additional areas. The incident has triggered discussions about fire‑risk management, water‑supply capacity and building standards in the region.
