A woman who died after a fire tore through a house in Dumfries and Galloway has been named.

Andrea Aitken was in a house in Addison Place, Annan when the blaze started shortly after 2am on Friday.

Emergency services were called out to find the semi-detached house "well alight" as fire crews used breathing gear and high pressure hoses to bring the flames under control.

The 46-year-old was removed from the house but died at the scene.

Her relatives have been informed.
