Image: Mikko Haapanen / YleZena Iovino9:24Last weekend's destructive apartment building fire damaging 63 flats in Helsinki's Kalasatama has raised questions as to compensation. Investigators suspect it may have started from a gas grill on a fourth floor balcony.Talouselämä reports that building landlord Lumo prohibits balcony barbecuing with charcoal or gas grills, as well as any other equipment that carries a risk of open flames escaping."If building rules prohibit grilling, it may affect insurance compensation," said Tiia Heino, who heads claims at insurer IF.Antti Määttänen of insurer LähiTapiola, meanwhile, told TE that without home insurance, residents' personal belongings may not be compensated at all.He explained that while a housing company's property insurance typically covers the building's structures, it rarely extends to tenants' or owners' possessions inside.Open drug tradeThe most-read story in Helsingin Sanomat concerns the brazen open-air drug trade around the Puhos shopping centre in eastern Helsinki's Puotinharju district.The headline reads: 'A restaurant in Helsinki's Puhos built a fence to keep the drug trade at bay.'Local business owners say the trade is driving customers away and bringing violence to the area.The dealing is so overt that a brief visit by HS on a weekday afternoon yields abundant evidence of transactions in plain sight.The city is planning a broader redevelopment of the neighbourhood, which officials and business owners hope will curb the narcotics market.Hanna Kiiskinen, a superintendent with the Helsinki police, told HS that Puhos regularly generates tips about narcotics trafficking. Police have responded with both high-visibility patrols and plainclothes operations.But the dealers, according to the paper, appear adept at evading enforcement. Drug sellers seem to know when the authorities are approaching and disperse before they arrive.No more flowersForget bouquets when visiting patients at Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) from now on.Hufvudstadsbladet reports that HUS has banned flowers and potted plants for patients.The hospital authority says that soil and water from houseplants and cut flowers may increase the risk of infection and worsen indoor air quality."In addition, plants and flower pots collect dust and make cleaning more difficult," HUS said in a statement.HUS now advises well-wishers to wait until patients have returned home before sending bouquets.
