An elderly woman died and six other residents were taken to hospital after a fire in a care home last night.
Emergency services were called to the Aashna House care home in Streatham Vale, at about 7.55pm.
The elderly woman, who has not been identified, was found dead at the scene.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said a fast response car, six ambulances, an air ambulance doctor and its hazardous area response team were sent to the home in Bates Crescent.
A number of residents were treated outside the home and six were taken to hospital, he said.
Police said none of the six are believed to be in a critical condition.
Officers said inquiries are continuing to establish the cause of the blaze.
