A significant fire incident occurred in a cabin on Bømlo during the early hours of Thursday. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene after a neighbor reported the blaze. The police confirmed at approximately 4:31 AM that they had contacted the owner, who verified that no one was inside the cabin at the time of the fire. Despite the rapid response, the building was reported to be completely engulfed in flames, and emergency crews worked diligently to contain the fire and ensure it did not spread to surrounding properties.

Firefighters from 110 Sør-Vest were actively involved in extinguishing the fire. As reported by Yngve Müller from the fire department, efforts to control the situation were ongoing, and they had successfully kept the fire from spreading to nearby buildings. At around 5:20 AM, flames were still visible, indicating that the fire had not yet been fully extinguished. Emergency responders were on high alert as they worked to contain the blaze and prevent further damage.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined; however, after the site has cooled down, investigators will enter to ascertain the origin of the blaze. Local authorities are monitoring the situation and will conduct a thorough investigation to identify any potential fire hazards in that area to prevent future incidents.
