VIDEO: The Tucson Fire Department is investigating after they rescued a woman from a smoke-filled, one-bedroom apartment Friday morning on Tucson's north side.
Around 4 a.m., a resident of the apartment complex called 911 and reported hearing a smoke detector and smelling smoke from one of the apartments, according to a department press release. When firefighters arrived at the complex, they tracked the sound of the fire alarm and entered the apartment where they found a pot of food smoldering on the stove.
Firefighters found a woman in her 20's unconscious on the couch. They took her out of the apartment and provided a medical evaluation and treatment.
"On this incident the activation of a smoke detector from food burning on the stove resulted in a very positive outcome," said Daniel Burke, Tucson Fire Department public information officer.
