A fire broke out in a historic apartment building in Frogner, Oslo, leading to the evacuation of twelve residents.

The blaze, which started in a bathroom on the third floor, resulted in three people suffering minor smoke inhalation injuries.

Firefighters managed to extinguish the flames, but not before significant damage was done.

Three apartments have been deemed uninhabitable due to fire and water damage.

The building's age, dating back to 1890, complicated firefighting efforts due to hidden cavities that allowed the fire to spread.

Emergency services remain on site to ensure no further damage occurs.
