Elderly woman dies in Brisbane fire

An elderly woman has died in a Brisbane house fire.

The woman was pulled from the single-storey brick house at Inala just before 9am on Tuesday. Paramedics administered CPR but could not revive her.

Media reports have said a young girl earlier fled the house.

Three fire crews were sent to the scene where they found the house enveloped in smoke but the blaze itself was out, a fire service spokesman told AAP.

Firefighters have conducted atmospheric tests to determine if it's safe to re-enter the building.

No other details were immediately available, and the cause of the fire isn't known.

The police and ambulance service both told AAP the dead person was believed to be an elderly woman.
