A MAN and a woman have died after a horror blaze ripped through their home despite attempts to save them from the burning building.

Emergency services rushed to the scene in Glentworth Close in Oswestry, Shropshire, at around 4.20am.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said that the woman was rescued from the property and given advanced life support before being hospitalised.

But despite the best efforts of medical staff, she died a short time later in Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

The man was confirmed deceased at the scene of the house fire by ambulance workers.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "When ambulance staff arrived, they found fire and police colleagues administering CPR to one occupant, a woman, who had been rescued from the property and was in a critical condition.

"Sadly, despite the best efforts of ambulance and hospital staff, nothing could be done to save her, and she was confirmed dead a short time later at hospital.

“Sadly, a second occupant, a man, was confirmed deceased on scene by ambulance staff.”
