Penygroes fire: Woman, 74, found dead in kitchen
A woman’s body was discovered in a kitchen of a property in Ffordd Llanllyfni, Penygroes, Gwynedd on Tuesday afternoon at around 15:00 BST.
The fire service said a neighbour in her mid 40s who raised the alarm was treated in hospital for smoke inhalation but has now been sent home.
North Wales Police and fire officers are investigating the blaze. Firefighters from Caernarfon were called to the incident at the terraced property.
Gwynedd council said the A487 between Llanllyfni and Penygroes was closed for a number of hours following the fire.
A house fire in which a 74-year-old woman died was not suspicious, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service says.

Gary Platts, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue, said it had been “one of the most rapid fires” he had ever seen.
It took almost three hours to bring the blaze under control.
Mr Platts, fire station manager, said: “It burned very, very quickly. Within an hour it had destroyed the roof and burned the entire contents.
Police have been working to determine how the fire started.
The Environment Agency was also consulted after a similar fire last year contaminated water in a nearby canal, causing fish to die.
