A North Arlington woman is hospitalized with severe burns to her body after a kitchen fire in her home Saturday afternoon, police said.
The 45-year-old woman, whose name was not released, was airlifted by Hackensack Air 1 from Bergen County Park South near the Lyndhurst/North Arlington border to St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, according to North Arlington Police Capt. Robert Reilly.
The kitchen fire, which was extinguished when police arrived, occurred as the result of a cooking accident around 12:50 p.m. at a home on Madison Street in North Arlington, Reilly said.
