AN ELDERLY woman who was pulled from her burning flat was in a stable condition in hospital today.
Vera Rigby, an 86-year-old former teacher, was trapped in the living room of her ground floor flat in Pasture Farm Close, Fulford, York, on Wednesday.
Fire crews pulled Mrs Rigby out of the burning building after neighbours failed to reach her.
She was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation before being taken to York District Hospital.
