A pensioner has died after sustaining serious burns in a “ferocious” blaze in an Edinburgh tenement.
The 79 year-old was taken to hospital after being rescued from the blaze at her home in Argyle Park Terrace at 1515 GMT on Monday.
She died in the early hours of Tuesday. Two men and a woman were taken to hospital with less serious injuries.
Firefighters said the blaze, on the first floor of the building, was severe and caused “very high temperatures”.
The woman was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
She was transferred to the burns unit at St John’s Hospital in Livingston, where she later died.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
