There's a sense of shock and sadness in Jonesborough following the death of a 94-year-old woman in a house fire.
The blaze broke out around 7.30pm at Bay View.
Emergency Services attended the scene, but the woman was found dead.
It's believed a small fire broke out in the kitchen of the semi-detached house. The fire had been partially put out by neighbours and on arrival firefighters fully extinguished the fire.
A 50-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene by firefighters.
An investigation into the cause of the fire, which is not believed to be suspicious, has begun.
Councillor Mickey Larkin says the woman was well known and respected within the community:
