A fire aboard a Norwegian chemical tanker was extinguished Monday after an apparent explosion prompted a large-scale emergency response off Norway's southeast coast, with all 15 crew members accounted for.
The incident occurred approximately 10 nautical miles off the coast of Fredrikstad, a city in the county of Østfold, Norway. Emergency responders, including the Norwegian Coast Guard and local fire departments, were quickly dispatched to the scene to combat the blaze and ensure the safety of the crew.
