The alarm came in to SOS shortly after 17. A person is said to have remained in the burning house, and police were allowed to enter.
- The police were quickly on site, helped the woman out and extinguished the fire, announces an operator at SOS Alarm, which is responsible for the Bergslagen Rescue Region.
Shortly afterwards, it was announced that the fire was under control.
- The fire has been extinguished but there is still a lot of smoke on the site, says the operator at SOS Alarm.
Could not get out by myself
Police spokesman Lars Hedelin develops about the rescue:
- The woman was in her 65s and could not get out on her own.
The police were quickly on the scene and made the assessment that they could not wait, he says, and continues:
- There was a fire in the hall and she was further in so they had to get past the fire to get to her.
There must have been a lot of smoke in the place.
