A man's died in a house fire in Wigan overnight, with a number of others hurt.
Emergency services were called to a property in Warrington Road at around 2.30am on Sunday 14 April.
Greater Manchester Police say five other people are being treated for their injuries - with one in a life threatening condition.
We're told a cordon remains in place - but road closures have been lifted.
An investigation's on into what caused the fire.
Chief Superintendent Clare Jenkins from our Wigan district said: "Our thoughts are with the family involved in this incident who are currently receiving treatment for their injuries and also grieving a tragic loss.
"Whilst our enquiries alongside GMFRS continue and are still in early stages we are confident it is an isolated incident that has no wider risk to the public.
"Anyone with information that may help with enquiries is asked to call 101 quoting log 393 of 14/04/2024."
