Burning goat cheese lorry closes tunnel in Norway | IceNews - Daily News: A key tunnel in northern Norway has been closed following a fire fuelled by thousands of kilos of goat cheese. According to a BBC report, the lorry fire burned for almost five consecutive days in the Brattli Tunnel, located in the country’s far north Tysfjord municipality. The structure suffered severe damage and must now undergo repairs; a process that will take several weeks, according to local officials.

Fire crews said that it was extremely difficult to put out the blaze due to the high levels of fat and sugar in the brown goat cheese, a caramelised specialty product known as Brunost.
