Video: Doors Open Again After Fire

The restaurant Fröken Selfoss has reopened its doors, just weeks after a major fire broke out on May 29th. Owners Guðný Sif Jóhannsdóttir and Árni Bergþór Hafdal Bjarnason announced the reopening, expressing their relief and determination to return to business.

Speaking about the incident, the owners felt that media reports had understated the severity of the fire and its aftermath. They pointed out that the blaze caused extensive water damage throughout the premises, as a water pipe had burst during the fire. Small gas cylinders also ruptured. A video shared on Facebook by the town center of Selfoss illustrated the widespread water damage.

Despite the significant damage, the restaurant has undergone a complete reconstruction. The owners have rebuilt the establishment from its foundations, incorporating a few minor changes. A video from the time of the fire, along with an interview with the owners, has been made available.
