The police are still investigating the cause of the fire

The cause of the fire that broke out at the home stadium of Helsinki’s Gnistan in July is still a question mark.

The police have concluded the investigation at the home stadium of the football club Gnistan in Helsinki’s Oulunkylä, which was destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire is still a question mark, says Helsingin Uutiset.

– All possibilities are still open. It is not excluded that the fire was started intentionally, says the crime commissioner Jukka Larkio.

According to Larkio, the material is now being analyzed and efforts are being made to find out how the fire progressed. The investigation may take a long time, possibly even months. There were a lot of wooden structures in the auditorium, which affected the intensity of the fire.

Gnistan’s home stadium was destroyed by fire on July 13. Gnistan will play its final Veikkausliiga home match at the Töölö football stadium.
