Woman dead after Aberdeen fire name as Selina Corrigan
A 46-year-old woman who died following a fire in a block of flats in Aberdeen has been named as a teacher.
Selina Corrigan, of Woodside School, was taken to hospital after the blaze at Alexander Terrace in the Tillydrone area on Monday night. She later died.
Twenty-one people were forced to leave their flats in the tenement building as more than 20 firefighters - some using breathing apparatus - tackled the fire.
Grampian Police said the fire did not appear to be suspicious.
An investigation is continuing.
Sandy Burr, head teacher at Woodside School, said: "The whole school community is devastated at the tragic loss of Selina Corrigan.
"Mrs Corrigan was a valued member of staff who was a committed and dedicated teacher.
"Our sympathies and thoughts are with her family and friends at this time."
