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.
