A 77-YEAR-OLD woman has died in a fire at a block of flats in East Kilbride.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue were called to a ground-floor flat yesterday morning.
Neighbours said the occupier was inside the flat in the St Leonards area of the South Lanarkshire town.
Eight other residents from the four-storey block were led to safety and three were treated in hospital for smoke inhalation.
