A
woman has died after a house fire in north London.
Firefighters were called to the blaze at a semi-detached house Hillside Gardens, Edgware, at 4.43am on Saturday, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
They found the woman on the ground floor of the building and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Around 20 firefighters and three fire engines from Mill Hill, Stanmore, and Harrow fire stations fought the fire and were able to bring it under control less than an hour later, at 5.41am.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police and the LFB.
