– I was up on the roof. It was full of fire and extremely hot. I am reasonably ready for a shower, to put it that way, says Tviberg to Bergens Tidende.
He was among the first to come out to the Great Fire of Bergen center when the alarm went off at 4:30 o’clock in the night. The flames eventually got hold of three of the houses on fire my area.
Tviberg says that it was hectic at the start.
– I have worked as breathing for 22 years, but this is probably the most demanding fire I’ve been involved in.
– A horror scenario
Tviberg, which has been in place since he arrived in the night, says that the fire department used lift and sent in smoke divers when they arrived at the scene.

– We had several BA operations while we flushed water down the areas where smoke divers were not, he said.
The buildings made it very difficult conducting fire fighting.
– It is a horror scenario with such fires, he said.
The weather was luckily on the fire service’s side.
– It was pretty calm, says Tviberg.
Getting praised
Also, duty manager at Bergen fire, Frode Bødtker, says that this is the toughest fire he has been involved.
– The was very difficult access to the buildings, and we did not come good with lift. Therefore we had to focus on smoke diving. It has been a very demanding job for firemen, says Bødtker.
The fire in Kong Oscarsgate and Lower Hamburgersmauet was reported extinguished at. 08.50.
Just after 10 o’clock was the fire department finished after quenching.
After the intense hours of work they receive now praise from several sides. Governing Mayor Martin Smith-Sivertsen was briefed on the fire Thursday morning.
– It seems like the fire department once again has done a fantastic job, and saved the city from a major disaster, he said.
– Unique
Also on social media shoots people of effort.
– Once again an invaluable contribution, writes Kenneth Hereid on Twitter.
– Bergen fire is unique, writes user Harald Asker.
– Well done – as usual! Printer Svein Amundsen on Facebook.
– It is good that Bergen has so adept firefighters and women, writes Kjell-Åge Løland.
– It is horrible
Mayor Trude Drevland were awakened by the big fire in the center.
– I woke up and knew that it smelled smoke, and so on BT what had happened. I went to brief me, said Mayor Trude Drevland.
In May there was a large fire in the same area.
– It is terrible that this area should be so exposed. It creates unease among those who live here. It being unsafe in this city is the worst, Drevland.
