The Reykjavík Metropolitan Police have completed their investigation into a fire that occurred in January at a storage facility on Gufunesveg. The technical department of the police conducted a fire investigation and determined that the fire was initiated from a charger connected to two forklifts that were in operation at the time. Their findings indicate that there were no signs of arson or negligence involving flammable materials.

The storage facility, owned by the City of Reykjavík, was rented by the film production company Trunorth, which stored old props and various materials there. Unfortunately, everything inside the facility was destroyed in the fire, presenting a significant loss to the company, which had collected these props over the years. This incident has left the operators of Trunorth feeling devastated as the loss affects their creative resources, but they are relieved that there were no injuries to personnel.

The police's clear findings regarding the source of the fire provide some closure to the incident, as it aligns with safety practices expected in such facilities. It underscores the importance of monitoring and maintaining electrical equipment, as even charging devices can pose a risk if not properly managed. This incident raises awareness among other businesses about the potential hazards associated with storage facilities and equipment maintenance.
