A 43-year-old woman has sustained serious injuries following a fire that engulfed a terraced house in Holstebro, Denmark. The woman, who is the resident of the home, was airlifted to Rigshospitalet for treatment.

The fire broke out in a house on Holbergsgade and was reported to the police shortly before noon on Sunday. Firefighters worked to contain the blaze throughout the afternoon. While the fire has been extinguished, the house sustained significant damage.

The duty officer for Midt- og Vestjyllands Police, Gorm Lauridsen, observed the smoke plume from his position. He confirmed that the woman's next of kin have been notified. Police have cordoned off the area for a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire, which is expected to be determined in the coming days.

Fortunately, the fire did not spread to adjacent properties, meaning the resident was the only person at risk. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

We have cordoned off the area for further investigation.
