A fire broke out in an apartment building in Bollnäs early Sunday morning. A total of seven people were taken to hospital.

Six people have been examined, with minor injuries. At lunchtime it was confirmed that one person died from the injuries. The police have launched a preliminary investigation into general negligence. The fire was extinguished at half past eight and the cause of the fire will now be investigated. The property owner says that these should be ordinary homes, where seniors live, not nursing homes.
