Fires all over Norway
A period of drought, high temperatures, and human interference - the composition of these three ingredients results in fires throughout Norway. Yesterday we informed about a XNUMX-hour fire in the electro-waste landfill in Vestfold. It is worth noting, however, that other Norwegian regions are also haunted by this element. The fire department extinguished fires mainly in the southern parts of the country - Rogaland, Akershus and Sogn on Fjordane.
A few hours of extinguishing fires
According to the Norwegian fire brigade, it took several hours to extinguish fires in many places. The longest in Lommedalen, where the struggle with the elements took over 7 hours. According to official information, drought is not the only reason why a fire started. It also happened as a result of, inter alia, lighting fires and using individual grills.

The other couple were sentenced to six months and 90 days in prison respectively. The other two were sentenced to 60 and 90 days' imprisonment.
You won't go crazy this summer on the E-18
Significant traffic complications are taking place in the Bamble commune. They result from the closure of the section of the E-18 road that runs through this region. There are renovation works on the existing ones (Kjohulttunnelen and Bamblet) and the construction of a new tunnel (on the Langangen - Dordal road section). Drivers who intend to travel through this region should be patient. You have to stand in traffic jams for up to several hours and such delays should be taken into account.
The GDPR will enter Norway with a delay
The European Commission's regulation on the protection of personal data (called GDPR) came into force on May 25. New the regulations will also apply to Norway as a country associated with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). However, they will enter with a delay because the Kingdom is not a member of the European Union. It is expected that the GDPR will come into force on July 1, but this issue will be discussed in detail on the last day of May during the meeting of the EFTA Committee.
