A devastating fire engulfed a home in Klepp, Rogaland, on Monday night, leaving one man missing and another in police custody.
Authorities suspect the fire was deliberately set.
Emergency services arrived shortly after 10 PM to find the house fully ablaze.
Despite efforts, the home was completely destroyed.
Witnesses provided crucial information leading to the arrest of a man near the scene, who is now charged under Norway's arson laws.
Two residents were linked to the property: a woman, who is safe, and a man who remains unaccounted for.
Police fear the missing man may not have escaped the flames.
Investigations are ongoing, with forensic teams set to examine the site once it cools.
