Fires|No injuries were caused by the fire. The cause of the fire is not yet clear.
Three-story there was a fire in an apartment on the second floor of an apartment building on Juustenintie in Helsinki’s Malminkartano.
The Helsinki rescue service received a report about the fire after 17:00 on Wednesday evening.
The fire marshal on duty Toni Kannikoski according to a little before six, the fire had already been extinguished and smoke ventilation and clearing work had begun.
“There were flames in the stairwell. The entire staircase was full of smoke from the second floor onwards,” Kannikoski describes.
Kannikoski does not yet know the cause of the fire and cannot say whether the fire started from outside or inside the apartment.
“It seems that at least the target apartment suffered reasonably large damages. We are still going through other apartments. They will almost certainly have at least smoke damage.”
There were nine emergency services units, three first aid units and the police. The fire did not cause any injuries.
