A fire that broke out in a townhouse in southern Norway before destroying a hundred homes has been mostly brought under control, fire officials said Saturday.
Local media described the blaze as the largest in the Nordic nation for more than a century.
What do we know?
The fire on the outskirts of the city of Drammen, about 34 kilometers (21 miles) from Oslo, broke out around 3:30 p.m. local time (1330 UTC/GMT) on Friday, before ripping through a row of townhouses.
It then quickly spread through the neighborhood and toward nearby forests due to strong winds and exceptionally dry conditions, officials said.
