An elderly man was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation after a massive apartment fire on Copenhagen Road in Malmo. A neighbor began extinguishing the garden hose.

Rescue services, police and ambulance services were alerted to the fire at 02:30 on the night of Tuesday. When they arrived, the smoke-filled courtyard and a large fire raged in an apartment on the ground floor. A nearby resident had started extinguishing with a garden hose.

An elderly man had taken out of the burning home and anträffades in the garden outside. The man was taken by ambulance to sjukhus.- He should have been lighter smoke damage, says Michael Lind, duty officer in the police region Syd.En woman who lives diagonally above the burning apartment could not get down when flames blocked her escape route.
