A series of fires in Tromsø has raised concerns among local authorities, prompting an investigation into possible connections between the incidents.

The most recent fire occurred in a duplex on Strandvegen in the early hours of July 17, where the building was deemed a total loss.

Fortunately, all residents escaped unharmed, thanks to quick action from one resident who alerted others.

Just days prior, another fire destroyed a house in Lyngen, and several other blazes were reported in the region, including an old hotel and an unoccupied house.

Police have one suspect in custody related to the fire in Tromsdalen, but they are still determining if there is a broader link between these incidents.

Authorities urge homeowners to secure vacant properties to prevent potential arson.
