A 74-year-old woman died in a house fire in Mor­vant on Fri­day, af­ter se­cu­ri­ty mea­sures at the prop­er­ty pre­vent­ed neigh­bours from res­cu­ing her.

Of­fi­cials said around mid­day, of­fi­cers from both the Mor­vant and San Juan Fire Sta­tions re­spond­ed to re­ports of a blaze at a two-storey house lo­cat­ed at First Cale­do­nia Road.

Pen­sion­er, Marachia ‘Agnes’ Her­nan­dez, lived in a ground-floor apart­ment of the build­ing.
