The police emphasize that the report was made to ensure the person's right to a defense attorney.
"Even if a person has suspect status, it does not mean that the police have information about the cause of the fire or that anything criminal has occurred," says Police Commissioner Nina Fladhus in a press release.
The fire broke out on Friday, quickly burning more than 100 homes to the ground. Over 400 people were evacuated from their homes. Several of them have since been able to return.
The police have an idea of where the fire started, but say they lack evidence to say anything about the cause. A lot of photos and video footage have been received, which will be central to the continued investigation.
On Monday, the fire service assessed that the risk of the fire re-igniting was low. On Tuesday, it was officially announced that the fire was under control.
We can now confirm that we have control of the scene, says Kristin Grydeland at the Drammen Region Rescue Service.
No one has been reported missing following the fire, but police are still urging residents to report any people who may have been in the area during the fire and who have not been identified.
The fire is considered to be the largest of its kind in Norway in 100 years.
