Woman hospitalised following Edinburgh flat fire
The blaze broke out on Pitt Street during the early hours of this morning.
A woman is being treated in hospital after a tenement fire in Edinburgh.
Firefighters were called to the incident in the ground floor property in a three-storey block in Pitt Street at around 4am today.
Two crews dealt with the fire and searched the building. A woman in her 20s was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary (ERI) for treatment to slight smoke inhalation, the fire service said.
The latest incident comes after a man and a child were treated in hospital after a fire in nearby Ferry Road. Crews were called to the fire at 2am on Tuesday and rescued a man from a flat fire.
He was rushed to ERI and is said to be in a critical condition, while a child from another property in the block was taken to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children as a precaution.
Officers are working with fire crews to establish the cause of the blaze.
