A woman in her 30s died on Sunday evening after a fire in an apartment in Bergen.
At 16:46 the emergency services were alerted by a lot of smoke and dirty windows in an apartment in Bergen.
Emergency services arrived at the scene after around nine minutes and divers were dispatched who found the woman unconscious in the apartment, police wrote.
Life-saving first aid was performed before the woman was taken to Haukeland University Hospital.
Police write in a press release at 20:02 that the woman in her 30s is dead.
The next of kin have been notified.
The cause of the fire is not known and the police have opened a file. The apartment will be investigated, writes the police.
Little fire, lots of smoke
– At the moment we don’t know anything more about the cause until we can investigate the crime scene. There wasn’t a lot of fire, but a lot of smoke, so it must have been a fire in one form or another, says Eivind Hellesund, director of operations in the Western Police District in VG.
The fire was discovered after a lot of smoke and smoke bombs were sent.
The fire was confined to the apartment of the deceased.
Site operations leader Casper Kaland says Bergens Tidende that the police were alerted by a neighbor.
– The apartment is not burned down. It’s too early to say anything about the cause. The case will be investigated, he tells the newspaper.
