People Light Fire Inside Oslo Central Post Building

Emergency services rushed to the Posthuset warehouse in central Oslo on Thursday morning. Several people had entered the building and started a fire indoors. Police confirmed the individuals had no legitimate reason to be there. They believe the group broke into the facility. Two people were hospitalized after being exposed to smoke. Two others received treatment at an emergency clinic. The Posthuset, also known as the Postgirobygget, is a prominent downtown Oslo building that formerly housed postal services. Police stated the trespassers clearly had no business being in the facility. Starting fires in occupied buildings creates serious safety risks for both occupants and emergency responders. The incident reflects ongoing challenges with unauthorized access to vacant properties in urban areas.
