A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered a woman, who had been rescued from the property by colleagues from the fire service.

“Sadly, it quickly became apparent nothing could be done to save her and she was confirmed dead at the scene.

“A second patient, a man, was treated for the effects of smoke inhalation before being taken to the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch.”

Warwickshire Police said: “Her next of kin has been informed, the death is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner. We'd like to thank everyone for their patience as we worked alongside our blue light emergency services colleagues today.”
