n Ichtegemstraat in Kortemark in Roeselare tonight at 2:45 pm a woman killed in a house fire. When the fire brigade arrived at the scene of Kortemark, the flames leaped forward the rear of the house.
The occupant is a 71 year old lady. It was her son who noticed the fire when he came home. He tried to get even himself up with his mother, but had to abandon his attempt because the flames were too large. The man was overcome by smoke and was transferred to hospital where he was given oxygen.
Because it was immediately clear that there may still found in victims, the firemen went from inside the fire to attack. There they came upon the lifeless body of the occupant.
How the heat is may occur, it is not yet clear. Possibly the prosecutor's office will send a fire expert on the spot. The Ichtegemstraat ended locally during the intervention to all traffic.
