Pictures: A lot of water on the floors of Kringlan mall

There was a lot of water on the 1st and 2nd floors of Kringlan and a lot of smoke inside the shopping center last night.

The fire brigade managed to extinguish the fire last night, but it is clear that the damage caused by the fire that started on the roof of the eastern part of the building is extensive.

Last night, a photographer took pictures inside Kringlan, but the store owners were allowed into the mall to see what was going on in their stores.

It has not been decided when Kringlan Mall will reopen.

“We are still in the mall but we are winding down the work till,” stated Lárus Steindór Björnsson, in charge of the fire department, just before 11 pm last night.

At that time the day shift had just left after a difficult day at work and the night shift had taken over.
