Woman, 93, saved from burning house

An elderly woman is recovering in hospital after she was rescued from her burning home in Co Clare yesterday.

The alarm was raised shortly after 5pm when smoke was seen coming from the 93-year-old’s house at Gortavrulla, which is about 7km from Scarriff.

The house is located on a country road in a remote area not far from the tiny village of Caher in the east of the county.
