One person has died after a major house fire in Kramfors Municipality. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and aggravated arson, SVT Västernorrland reports.

The police were called at half past nine in the morning. A person was found by smoke divers in the home, but the person's life could not be saved.

We don't really know if there are more people in the building, so we would like to investigate that part, says rescue leader Fredrik Svensson to SVT.

Rescue services, police and ambulance were alerted to a fire at the address as early as three o'clock on Tuesday morning, but no source of fire was ever found.

"It appears to be a false alarm," said Christina Björk, on-call preliminary investigation leader at the police, to the newspaper Ångermanland on Tuesday morning.
