A woman died and another person is in critical condition after being rescued from a burning home in San Francisco’s Mission Terrace neighborhood early Wednesday morning, according to fire officials.
The 1-alarm blaze first reported at 2:07 a.m. at 66 Delano Avenue. When firefighters arrived on scene, flames were coming out of the front window and door.
“The exits, when we arrived, were closed and we forced entry,” said San Francisco Fire Battallion Chief Pablo Siguenca.
Firefighters rescued two people from the home and performed CPR before they were transported. The blaze also claimed the life of the family dog, Lt. Jonathan Baxter said. The fire was under control at about 3:10 a.m.
A neighbor told KPIX 5 reporter Jackie Ward that a father and daughter lived at the home, and that the daughter, who recently started law school, had died at the hospital.
