DALLAS — Updated at 8:58 a.m. with information from Dallas Fire-Rescue.
An elderly woman has died after a two-alarm apartment fire early Tuesday in northeast Dallas.
Firefighters responded around 12:05 a.m in the 8000 block of Meadow Road near U.S. 75. They saw smoke coming from a second-floor unit.
They found an unresponsive elderly woman inside the residence and pulled her out of the building. She was transported to the hospital, where she later died, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans.
The woman has not been publicly identified.
Fire crews said the fire started in one unit and spread to the porch of a second unit.
It appears the fire ignited near the kitchen, spread to the ceiling and went into the attic, Evans said.
The fire was contained primarily in one unit. The front porch of a neighboring unit was also damaged.
The building has four units, and those residents have been displaced, Evans said.
