Update: At 13, the fire department stated that they had control of the fire.
“The fire department now has control over the fire. They will use the excavator to pull the pile out to knock down the last part, ”the 110-cent wrote in a Twitter message.
About an hour later, the fire department closed the site and left the remainder of the fire extinguishing to the industrial defense.
It was at noon Saturday that the emergency services moved out to Bingsa following a fire report.
To the Sunnmørsposten, the guard at the 110 Central station, Frank Austdal, stated that there was some plastic and rubber that was burning.
– We have just arrived and start extinguishing. There is no danger of scattering and little wind, which makes the smoke go straight up, he said.
Burning plastic and rubber can cause toxic fumes.
