Minor incident in Engebø process plant
On Tuesday afternoon, January 7, 2025, minor flames were discovered in of one of the drying machines at our facility at Engebø.
No one was injured due to the incident. The incident was handled according to procedures, with notification to the emergency response services and the power was quickly turned off. The fire did not develop further, and the flames went out by itself after controlled shutdown of the machine. In cooperation with the machine vendor and local emergency services, we will investigate the cause of the incident.
