Neighbours on a 'quiet' Nottinghamshire street where a 57-year-old woman died in a house fire say her loss is a tragedy. Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue have been investigating the incident on Princess Avenue in the Forest Town area.
Firefighters were first called to the scene at 5.30pm on Thursday (January 19) after neighbours called the emergency services. Nottinghamshire Police later confirmed that a 57-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene and that her family had been informed.
The exact cause of the fire is still being fully investigated and people living in the area have now expressed their sadness at what has happened. Alan Spencer, 66, who himself lives on Princess Avenue, said: "I didn't know anything about the fire until I was stood at my cooker in the kitchen and I saw all of the flashing blue lights.
