A woman has died in a house fire in Canberra's north.
Emergency services were called to a home in McKellar shortly before 2pm on Saturday.
More than 10 firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, before the body of a woman was later found.
ACT Fire and Rescue Commander Russell Cameron said the blaze was a reminder to be vigilant in the winter months.
"We arrived ... the house was fully involved," he said.
"We had three fire trucks here [and] we commenced an external attack," he added.
"It was far too under alight for us to be entering the building.
Mr Cameron said were certain things people should remember to keep an eye on.
"It's a change of season and people change their habits so we need people to be very vigilant about all the things we do in the wintertime; using power boards and clothes dryers and drying clothes," he said.
Saturday's death is the second house-fire fatality in the ACT this week.
Earlier in the week, another person died in a house fire in Calwell.
Police said despite the efforts of neighbours and paramedics to save that person, they were unable to be revived.
Investigations into the cause of both fires are ongoing, and reports will be prepared for the coroner.
