More than 100 homes were destroyed by a massive fire near the city of Drammen in southern Norway on Friday, as firefighters battled strong winds to contain the blaze, rescue officials said. The fire struck a neighbourhood of terraced housing about 50 kilometres west of Oslo, sending thick black smoke across the area. Authorities reported no casualties or missing persons. Over 60 firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, supported by helicopters dousing the area with water. Hundreds of residents were evacuated as the fire spread to the surrounding forest. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and an investigation is underway.
