DRAMMEN, Norway (AP) — What is being called the largest residential fire in modern Norwegian history has ravaged over 100 homes and displaced hundreds from their residences. The blaze began Friday afternoon in a townhouse in Drammen, spreading rapidly to nearby residences and into adjacent forests. Efforts to control the fire were ongoing Saturday, with no reported resident injuries or missing persons, though the cause remains under investigation.
