It is important to be careful when lighting candles, says Greenland Police Chief Aputsiaq Hansen.
The reminder comes after the police received a report on Wednesday 09:51 about a fire in clothing and an overhang in a wooden house in Maniitsoq.
It was probably a candle that started the fire.
"You have to think about it really carefully," says the duty officer.
It is not clear from the 24-hour report whether there were any injuries.
Violence reports
In addition to the fire, the police have also been called out to a number of cases in the last 24 hours. Including two reports of violence.
One was in Nuuk at 11:29 a.m. Wednesday, where a person was beaten and probably broke his cheekbone.
The second case was in Tasiilaq, where a person was hit in the head with an object three times. The police have a suspect in the case.
The Greenland Police are investigating and processing both cases.
In addition, there has been a report of psychological violence in Nuuk. The police have also received reports of domestic disturbance, vandalism and street disorder.
