A woman who was rescued by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus from a burning building in South Ealing earlier this month has died in hospital.

She was on ground floor of a semi-detached house when the fire took hold early in the morning of Wednesday 5 April.

After being taken out of the property she was brought to hospital, but the Fire Brigade have now announced that she has died.

The Brigade received the first call about the incident at 6:01am and sent three fire engines and around 15 firefighters from Ealing, Acton and Chiswick fire stations. It took just under an hour to get the fire under control.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
