More than 100 homes were destroyed in Drammen after a fire that began in a townhouse Friday afternoon spread through a residential area and into nearby forests.
Firefighters were still working Saturday to bring the blaze under control, while authorities called it Norway’s largest residential fire in modern times.
Hundreds of people were sent to an evacuation center, and police said no residents had been reported missing.
The cause was still unclear; earlier reports said one firefighter was injured and strong winds and dry conditions helped drive the fire roughly 34 kilometers southwest of Oslo.
