As reported Tuesday on News Center 7 at 5:00 , first-arriving fire crews immediately entered the home to control the fire and search for possible victims.

During the search, one woman was found and removed from the home.

Advanced Life Support was initiated at the scene and the victim was taken to a local hospital.

Dayton Fire District Chief Chris Kinzeler told News Center 7 that the woman was not burned but suffered severe injuries from breathing in the smoke.

“It’s usually the smoke that gets you and that’s why smoke detectors are critical,” Kinzeler said.

Firefighters said the home did not have smoke detectors.

News Center 7 has contacted the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office to confirm her name.
