A woman is in grave condition Friday after firefighters pulled her from her burning Woodland Hills home.
Firefighters were sent to the 2300 block of Burbank Boulevard just before 2 p.m. Thursday to find a one-story home engulfed in heavy smoke and heavy flames shooting through the roof.
Two family members in the front yard told firefighters a woman was trapped inside, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
The 78-year-old woman was found “lifeless” in a front room and, after she was pulled out of the home, paramedics were able to bring back a pulse, Humphrey said. She was rushed to a hospital, where she was in grave condition Thursday night.
A hard-wired smoke alarm was found in the charred home, but Humphrey said it was not immediately clear if it was functional at the time of the fire.
