Woman dies after fire at her home

A 54-year old woman has died in a fire at her home in Lancashire.

Fire crews were called to the house on Dalton Street in Nelson just after 2000 BST on Thursday after a neighbour reported seeing smoke.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the house and brought out the woman, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The fire is believed to have started in the lounge. It is not being treated as suspicious.
