PHOENIX — Phoenix Fire Department officials say one woman has died after a house fire early Thursday morning.
The fire broke out at a home near 44th Avenue and Bell Road around 1:45 a.m.
As crews worked to extinguish the flames, they searched the inside of the home and found one person who needed to be rescued. That person, only identified as a woman, was taken to a hospital in extremely critical condition. She later died from her injuries.
Two other people inside the home at the time had gotten out safely and are said to be in stable condition.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but officials do not suspect foul play.
