Denmark and Norway face severe weather and emergency incidents

Denmark is bracing for severe weather, with the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) warning of thunderstorms, lightning, and potential cloudbursts, particularly affecting Zealand and Funen.

Emergency services in Denmark have responded to several incidents, including a major industrial fire in Thisted that took ten hours to control and a series of suspicious fires in Silkeborg that police are investigating for potential links. Other reported emergencies include a traffic accident with persons trapped near Nykøbing Mors and a building fire in Aalborg.

In Norway, emergency services responded to a significant fire at a plastic production facility in Søgne. Authorities issued an emergency alert to local residents, advising them to keep windows and doors closed due to toxic smoke produced by the blaze.
