A fire broke out in a ship at Esbjerg Harbor, but fortunately, no injuries have been reported as the fire was quickly extinguished by the time police arrived.
This evening, authorities received a report regarding smoke rising from the underdeck, possibly from a cargo hold, on a ship located in Esbjerg Harbor. The alarm was made to the South and Southern Jutland Police at approximately 5:55 PM. Police patrols responded rapidly, and by 6:23 PM, they confirmed that the fire had been extinguished, ensuring that there were no injuries reported from the incident.
The quick response to the fire is credited to either the ship's crew or the local fire services, although it's not clear which group was responsible for putting out the flames. The timely intervention likely prevented any potential escalation of the situation, which could have led to significant damages or injuries.
As the incident unfolded, local authorities reassured the public that all safety protocols were followed during the response. The resolution of the incident without injuries highlights the importance of preparedness among maritime services and first responders in managing emergency situations at busy ports like Esbjerg.
