City|False alarm
The suspected fire turned out to be a hallucination.
Showy the sunset caused an unnecessary rescue mission in Helsinki on Friday evening.
The fire was reported in Lauttasaari after eight o’clock. Eight emergency services units were called to the scene.
There was no fire, but the person who raised the alarm had mistaken the sunset he saw in the distance for a fire, the on-duty fire marshal of the Helsinki Rescue Service Kari Ursin tells.
Similar cases have happened elsewhere in Finland in the past.
