A woman died following a flat fire in Holtspur late last night.

Firefighters were called to Kiln Court at 11.21pm after an automatic fire alarm was activated.

Two crews entered the flat with breathing apparatus to deal with the fire.

Firefighters discovered a body in the flat.

Crews ensured adjoining flats were not affected and worked to reassure other residents that the incident had been dealt with and that they could stay in their flats.

Roger Brinklow, group commander from Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Our thoughts are with her family and friends, and the local community.

"Crews are visiting the area today to provide further reassurance and to carry out home fire risk checks."

A fire investigation is being carried out and an inquest will be held.
