Residents’ meeting for residents of the building affected by the Kalasatama fire

A residents’ meeting will be held on Wednesday, 27 May, for the residents of Leonkatu 21, the building affected by the fire. Representatives from the City of Helsinki Social and Crisis Emergency Services, the Rescue Department, and Lumo Homes will attend the meeting. The event will cover the background of the fire and provide an updated overview of the situation.

The meeting is intended exclusively for the residents of the building in question. We want to ensure a calm and private environment so that residents can listen to presentations by the authorities and Lumo representatives and ask questions in peace. Media representatives will not be invited to attend the meeting, as a separate briefing for the media is being planned.

A fire broke out on Saturday, 23 May 2026, in a residential building owned by Lumo Homes on Leonkatu in the Kalasatama district of Helsinki. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. The building contains a total of 63 apartments and one commercial space.
