A car fire in Fjæreveien, Grimstad, has drawn the attention of local authorities as shots were reported to have been fired from the vehicle. The police and fire services quickly responded to the scene to extinguish the fire and secure the area. Emergency services transported the driver, who suffered burn injuries, to the hospital for treatment.

Upon investigation, authorities discovered a weapon inside the burning car, and they confirmed that shots had indeed been discharged during the incident. Fortunately, no one was hit by the gunfire, but concerns remain as there is still live ammunition inside the vehicle that is ablaze. This situation poses a considerable risk not only to the emergency personnel on site but to the nearby area as well.

The location of the fire is somewhat isolated, with no structures nearby, leading to the decision to close off the surrounding road.

This incident raises questions about the events leading up to this dangerous scenario and the motivations behind having a weapon in the car, prompting further investigation by the police.
