A woman has died following a care home fire in Glasgow.
The emergency services were called to the blaze at the Arcadia Gardens care home, Kerr Drive, Bridgeton around 4.30pm on Saturday.
Four fire engines were sent to the scene and firefighters extinguished a fire in a room at the home.
Police said a 54-year-old woman and 78-year-old man were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where the woman later died from her injuries.
The man was treated for smoke inhalation and has since been released.
There were no other injuries and police said all other staff and residents were accounted for and seven residents were temporarily accommodated at a nearby care home.
Police Scotland said a joint investigation was launched with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to establish the exact cause of the fire, which is not thought to be suspicious.
Inquiries are ongoing.
A staff member at the care home head office said no one was available to comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
