MOELV (Dagbladet): Ole Magnus Bakken (32) was the man who discovered the fatal fire at the Moelv industrial site on Wednesday morning.
Bakken, who is a project manager at the Enter Gruppen construction company in Brumunddal, had to pick up a trailer from the same building on the way to work.
– I arrived here at 06:45 or a few minutes later, so there was no one to see in or around the building, no light in the offices. I drove to the end of the building, where we have a warehouse, says Bakken.
– Seven or eight minutes after I walked through the door, I came out again with the trailer. Then I saw heavy smoke and flames from the third floor in the other part of the building. This must have happened quickly, Bakken told Dagbladet.
Immediately after 7 o’clock he called the police, who again alerted the fire department.
Oppland Arbeiderblad writes late Friday that police are investigating whether the other dead person found Thursday in the ruins of the fire may be a Gjøvik man who has been missing since Tuesday night and for whom they have been made. extensive search operations. It is clear that the missing person is an acquaintance of the first person found dead in the ruins, according to the newspaper. Family members of the man who was found for the first time have been notified.
Took the car out of the fire
– I was here an hour and a half, until 08.30. As the first witness, I had to wait until the police questioned me, says Bakken.
– I quickly drove away with the car, so that the sparks and flames would not cause damage. By the time I waited, the fire department was concentrating on putting out the fire. I couldn’t see anyone being carried out back then, until I drove to work in Brumunddal, he continues.
The company he works for had rented space in the building for a fairly short time. Therefore, she does not know the people who work there.
– In Moelv, the industrial building is known as the GMM or Sentralen building. I heard that Ringsakerhus previously rented parts of the area. Now it was the storage of boats in the area of the building that is completely damaged. I managed to see that rescue teams took out several boats during the extinction, says Bakken.
Total damage
On Thursday night, the windows in the most damaged part of the building were covered.
This part of the building is completely damaged and demolition work was still underway on the building just before midnight.
On Wednesday, police said no people were found during a search in the residential area.
Neither of the two deceased has been identified yet.
The main hypothesis from which the police work is that something criminal has happened, but they do not rule out other possibilities, police lawyer Sten Floor Nelson told Dagbladet on Thursday.
