Officials say a 65-year-old woman has died after a fire at her Springfield home.
A fire department spokesman says Dorothy Lee was pulled from the window of the one-story ranch in the city's Sixteen Acres neighborhood just after midnight Wednesday. She was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Lee's daughter and the family dog survived.
The death remains under investigation, but smoke inhalation is the likely cause.
Investigators think the blaze started in the home's kitchen and quickly spread causing an estimated $80,000 in damage.
The exact cause remains under investigation and the state Fire Marshal's office is assisting.
