Lillian Bolin, 84, was severely burned in a house fire on Friday. According to Courant.com, fire officials said that the fire started in the kitchen of her Butternut Lane house.
"She was burned on much of her body and had smoke inhalation," police Lt James Gosselin said at the scene. "She was found in the kitchen area of the home. Right now, we don't know what caused this."
Workmen repairing a roof of a nearby house were among the first to see signs of a fire. They reported seeing smoke coming out of the gable of the house at around 2:30. The men then told their clients to call for help and tried in desperation to make an attempt to get into the house, but the smoke was too much.
Rescue crews arrived and Bolin was airlifted to Bridgeport Hospital's burn center. Her condition was not yet determined.
UPDATE 3/7: Mrs. Bolin died of her injuries at Bridgeport Hospital.
