Blaze at naval torpedoschool kills 7, injures 23
On February 20th, a fire broke out at the naval torpedoschool at Karljohansvern Naval Station, Horten. Causes of the fire have not yet been determined, but the fire is known to have started in the facilities for refueling a recent experimental torpedo-design, with a promising new form of fuel. The properties of the fuel are thought to have contributed to the seriousness of the fire, which killed 5 officers and ranks outright, with 2 more dying at hospital. A further 7 remain in critical condition, their survival not being certain.
