Knoksen inserting extra security – Aftenbladet.no

– It is very uncomfortable to think that someone has been here and lit on intentionally. We put in an extra guard already on Saturday night, and set to continue with additional security, says Siri Sveinsvoll with knuckle Breakdown in Sandnes.

On Sunday morning was a little white foam in the street outside the high fences around Knoksen and a faint whiff of burnt rubber the only tangible signs that it had been two powerful fires in Luramyrveien same night. The neighborhood had admittedly several neighbors received amount of soot on their cars, but the air was clean and fresh again.

While her father and manager Geir Sveinsvoll on holiday, it was Siri Sveinsvoll dialed the fire department at 1 time duration Saturday night that it burned on the 13,500 square meter property at Lura. Then she lay sleeping, but went straight to Knoksen in Luramyrveien.

– When I arrived was the first fire was extinguished, and police had searched the area with dogs. Already then did we suspected that the fire was applied because the cars that burned were stripped of everything that could lead to spontaneous combustion, says Sveinsvoll.

The first message about the fire at bilopphoggeren Knoksen in Sandnes came to the emergency services at 0:52, and was that it burned several cars in the area. Fire brigade and police came out and found heavy fire in several wrecks cars and large amount of smoke. The time 1:02 the fire was under control, and five cars were completely burnt.

Surveillance

After input from police was Sveinsvoll seated again at work to check surveillance camera.

– After an hour I saw a strange color of the sky, and registered so that it was full of fire in a tire pile somewhere else on the site. I reported it, and the fire brigade and police arrived quickly on site.

The second fire message came at 3:20. The time 4:10 was also this fire extinguished, but the fire department continued after extinguishing into the night.

Police suspect that the fires are intentional, and will investigate the cases further. Among other things, they have taken over the job of examining footage from surveillance cameras that are in the area.

The next day is Siri Sveinsvoll passed, and glad that the fire after all not spread to buildings.

– The material and financial consequences are minimal, and we’re going to stay open just like normal from Monday, she said.

Hazardous waste removed

knuckle automobile, which was established by Geir SVEINSVOLL father Tryvgve in 1955, is an institution for bilopphogging in the district. The company has kept to Luramyrveien for over 60 years, from the area was a farm and the current agglomeration.

For a few years ago considered fire brigade risk that Knoksen was located amid residential and commercial Lura, who part of a survey of the waste industry after several fires there. The fire department feared it could lead to major fire hazard to stack cars that possibly still contained fuel during periods of large opphoggingsrush.

The time rejected Geir Sveinsvoll in Aftonbladet that bedrfiten would move, because the business benefits of the location is so large. He also assured that the company had frequent visits by the fire brigade and best practices for preventing fire. Including by emptying the cars for fuel and by removing the car battery to prevent spontaneous combustion.

– The five cars that burned the night of Sunday were all reorganized. All hazardous waste was removed from them, only bodywork and interior were left. Thus did not cause the fire some hazardous emissions. Tire fire caused however a foul smoke, which fortunately was short-lived. Brent rubber emits an odor that may have come into the ventilation system in the neighborhood. But since this happened in the middle of the night should the consequences be minimal, says Siri Sveinsvoll with knuckle Car Parts.
