Fire at farm in Levanger threatens animals and neighboring buildings

The situation is ongoing, with reports indicating that there are animals inside a burning structure. Authorities have warned of significant fire-spread risks to neighboring buildings, though no injuries to individuals have been reported.

Emergency teams from Levanger and Verdal have been deployed in response to the fire, which was first reported by a nearby resident at 10:50 PM. By the time of the report, the flames had already reached substantial levels.

Efforts are being made to evacuate the animals, which include cows and pigs. While authorities do not have an exact count, they acknowledge that many animals are involved in the incident. Efforts are underway to safely evacuate the cows, as they are seen running around the farm.

The operational leader has expressed concern that one of the agricultural buildings is likely to collapse and be completely consumed by the fire. However, teams are focusing their efforts on protecting the remaining structures on the farm. The fire department believes they have a reasonable handle on the risk of further spread, attributing the favorable wind direction as a contributing factor to their ability to manage the situation.
