Woman dead after Brisbane house fire

A woman has died after being pulled from a smoke filled house in Brisbane.

The 61-year-old was dragged from the single-storey brick home at Inala just before 9am on Tuesday.

Ambulance officers performed CPR but she could not be revived.

Police said a chaplain has been called in to support the woman's grieving relatives.

"The family is coping like any family would cope in a time like this. Obviously it's extremely difficult for them," an officer told reporters.

Police said there was no substance to earlier reports that a young girl had fled from the same property.

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.

Investigations are continuing into the cause of the fire.
