So far no findings
Images from the scene showed that around 1 pm the crews were fired from helicopters.
– So far no people have been found inside one of the houses in which we are now. It is important for me to emphasize that we have searched this house and house number two to confirm that there are no people there, he says.
He says it is because of the location of the buildings in the landslide that it is precisely these houses that are being searched.
– This is where the risk is least, but it is bordering on justifiable, says Pettersen.
Planning for multiple assignments
He says the decision was made after a lot of information was gathered.
– The puzzle has given us information so that we can perform this search now. We are planning multiple assignments, but the same assessments must be done that have been done for the assignment that is currently in progress.
– Zoom in on names and people behind the numbers
Pettersen says police will continue searches for as long as it is deemed prudent.
– We will continue until we have done what we can, and we can say that there is no one here, or that people are found.

House on the Brink: Expect more people to join
The two houses are located at the southern end and further west on the landslide.
– I repeat that this is associated with great risk and must be taken into account, says Pettersen, adding that the action can be interrupted.
He says the operation is still considered a rescue operation.
In the coming days rainfall is reported. Pettersen says it is important that it does not receive precipitation in helicopters and at the rescue facility.
– It doesn’t have much to say about the landslide, but for us looking for survivors, it has a lot to say.
He says the operation also gives them useful information for the above actions they may consider taking.
