One Hospitalized After Residential Fire in Råcksta

Emergency services received the fire alarm just before 6 PM on Saturday. A passerby noticed smoke coming from a villa located on school property in the Vällingby district of Stockholm. Three occupants evacuated the residential building after the witness knocked on the door. Rescue teams with smoke diving equipment located one person still inside the burning structure. That individual was transported to a hospital for treatment. Authorities have not yet determined the extent of damage from the blaze. Police cordoned off the area for a technical investigation after firefighters left the scene around 8 PM. Officials have classified the incident as gross public endangerment through negligence. The investigation continues as authorities work to determine the fire's exact cause. Stockholm property fires remain a concern during colder months when heating systems see increased use.
