A woman has died after a fire at a bungalow.
The woman, who was in her 70s, was rescued from the property at Gorwel in Abergele and taken to hospital with serious injuries, following the blaze which broke out at around 4pm on Tuesday.
The fire service confirmed today that she has died despite the effort of medics.
The cause of the fire is not yet known but police and fire officials are investigating.
A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "The woman rescued from a fire in her Abergele home yesterday afternoon has sadly died.
"Crews from Abergele and Colwyn Bay were called to a property at Gorwel, Abergele at 3.56pm yesterday.
"The woman was rescued from the property by police officers who were in the area and arrived quickly at the scene. She was transferred to hospital, but sadly she later died.
"Firefighters used four sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reels and thermal imaging cameras to tackle the fire which caused severe fire and smoke damage to the lounge area and smoke damage to other rooms in the one storey property."
Stuart Millington from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of this lady during this sad time.
“The cause of the fire is under investigation in conjunction with North Wales Police. Our appeal to everyone is to take extra care in regards to their safety in the home.”
Huge plumes of thick, black smoke could be seen billowing from the bungalow at the height of the blaze.
