A woman has died in a West London fire. A flat caught fire on Ongar Road in Fulham in the early hours of the morning on Thursday (August 1). Firefighters raced to the home at 4.07am and the fire was under control 40 minutes later.
Most of a flat across the first and second floors of a converted end-of-terrace house was damaged by fire. Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters from Fulham, Kensington, Hammersmith, Wandsworth, Tooting and Chelsea fire stations attended.

However despite their best efforts and that of London Ambulance Service paramedics, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. It's not the only death the capital has seen recently in a fire.
Robert Price, 76, was rescued from a mid-terraced house last Sunday (July 28), but was pronounced dead at the scene outside the property. The fire had ripped through half of the ground floor.
A 17-year-old boy was subsequently charged with murder and arson with intent to endanger life on Tuesday, July 30. He appeared in custody at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, July 31 and was remanded in custody. He appeared at the Old Bailey earlier today (August 2).
And on July 13 three children died in an East Ham house fire. They are 7-year-old boy Muhammad Hanan Malik, 11-year-old girl Aayat Malik and 13-year-old boy Nakash Malik.
Their parents Khurram Malik and Naumana Gul Khan spoke of their children: "Your lives were a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. May you rest in peace in God's heaven." A funeral was held for the three children on Monday (July 29).
