A massive fire broke out at a workshop in Molde, Norway, early Monday morning, spreading to multiple vehicles and releasing toxic smoke.

Authorities have evacuated 30 residents from 14 homes within a 300-meter radius due to the risk of explosion from gas canisters on-site.

Over 1,700 people in the area have been warned via SMS to stay indoors, close windows, and shut off ventilation systems.

Schools and kindergartens in Eidsvåg have kept children indoors as a precaution.

Emergency services are monitoring the situation, and while the fire has been subdued, officials are conducting follow-up measures.

The duration of the evacuation remains uncertain as the risk of explosion persists.
