Aalesund Update #2
IN AALESUND, NORWAY, the propane-fed fire that has kept rescuers out of the destroyed apartment building may continue to burn for up to a week. (Firegeezer reports HERE and HERE.) The fire chief says that is only a rough estimate because they are not certain how much gas remains in the tank.

A new concern has arisen about the instability of the hillside. They have installed some instruments that can monitor the movement of the building, but there is now worry about additional slides that would endanger not only other buildings next to the demolished apartments, but the homes that are at the top of the hill as well.
Today’s Aftenposten has the latest REPORT.
