Witness Steven Morgan, 45, said he was called to a hair salon and found a woman lying on the road with her lower face looking like a 'cooked chicken'.
He told the High Court in Edinburgh: 'She was awake but extensively burned.'
The paramedic said he went in the rear of an ambulance with the woman, Ahdieh Khayatzadeh, and asked her who had done it. She said it was her ex-husband.
Mr Morgan added: 'I asked her why? She said because she had divorced him.' Ahmad Yazdanparast, 61, denies murdering his ex-wife, who was 46. Another witness, a fireman, said the woman he brought out alive from the shop was in a 'horrendous' condition.
Gary Collie was asked if he had seen similar injuries before and he replied: 'Yes, many times but never in somebody still alive.'
The fire was at the Venus Hair and Beauty Salon in Maxwell Place, Stirling, last October. Mr Collie said he went into the shop's basement and heard a noise which he said was very difficult to describe.
He said: 'It didn't sound human... I was fully expecting to come across a dog or an animal of some description.'
But he said he found a person sitting but was not able to tell if it was a male or female at that stage. He said the woman had obvious burn injuries to her upper torso, face and head and her hair was burned away.
The firefighter said: 'She was very much conscious. I just tried to reassure her. I told her she would be OK.'
Mr Collie's colleague, Kirk Menzies, who also went into the premises, described the woman's injuries as 'horrific'.
He said: 'She had clothes but a lot of her clothes were burnt away.' The trial continues.
