A large fire on New Year’s Eve severely damaged Kimara daycare in Vantaa’s Askisto area, forcing its operations to relocate and prompting an arson investigation. Authorities suspect fireworks caused the blaze, which destroyed one side of the building and left the other with significant smoke and water damage.
Emergency services were alerted to the fire shortly after midnight. By the time firefighters arrived, flames engulfed one end of the L-shaped building, reaching several meters high.
