A fire was reported in the parking garage of the Jumbo shopping center located in Vantaa, Finland. The local fire department responded quickly, dispatching eight fire units to the scene following the alarm received at 10:57 AM. As the fire was contained to the parking area, the mall's operations were affected, but the staff remained in communication with the customers about safety measures.

In conjunction with the fire, people staying at the nearby Flamingo hotel reported that they heard fire alarms ringing. Lauri Jonninen, a guest at the hotel, stated that no specific instructions were given to hotel guests regarding evacuation or safety protocols, which raised concerns among guests about the situation.

As of now, there is an ongoing investigation into the source of the vehicle fire that initiated the response, ensuring that both customer and staff safety is prioritized during the incident.
