The Swedish fire fighters dealt with the contaminated ground at the site of the spillage while KFOR Norwegians soldiers emptied the remaining fuel from the leaking tanker into one of their own tankers. The area is now clear and determined to be safe. Two fire fighting vehicles from the Finnish Battalion, a water truck and two local fire engines worked feverishly to extinguish the blaze. The fire was quickly prevented from spreading to nearby property and was declared extinguished by midnight. The house itself was completely gutted.
Initial reports suggest that the fire was caused by arson.
Yesterday evening KFOR soldiers with Task Force Dulje reported a fire in an area that is mined. Hours later the fire was encroaching a road and soldiers in the Task Force set up a detour and rerouted traffic away from the fire hazard. By late evening the fire had been extinguished. Last night a vehicle accident occurred when a car quickly passed in front of a KFOR Spanish convoy. A truck in the convoy could not slow down in time and collided with the car.
