It's about a man, a woman, and five children, says Torbjörn Roos, officer in charge at the Bergslagen police region.
According to information from Central Hospital in Karlstad, the woman, who is in her 30s, has severe injuries after inhaling smoke. She is being cared for in the ICU.
The alarm came in at around 1 am. According to the police, the fire started on a balcony and then spread.
We have initiated an investigation into gross negligence and will cordon off and conduct a technical investigation to see what has burned, but maybe not today, but tomorrow, says Torbjörn Roos.
About ten people had to be evacuated from the apartment building, which has 4-5 apartments. According to the police, the top floor of the house is completely destroyed.
