Chief Kneass quickly added Company 19 to the call bringing Pipeline and Ladder 19 to the scene. Crews from 74 and 03 made an aggressive attack on the fire. Crews did locate the female resident of the building but she had already succumbed to smoke and heat from the fire. Crews from Pipeline and Ladder 19 assisted with extinguishing some hot spots and overhaul before being returned to service in a little over 2 hours. Also on the scene were Company 44 Springfield State Police and County fire investigators and the Delaware County Medical Examiner.
