A fire in a house in Rossmoor Monday left a woman dead and two other people injured, authorities said.
Firefighters sent to the 12500 block of Martha Ann Drive about 6:25 a.m. extinguished the flames in about 40 minutes, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
A woman was found dead in the house, and a man who got out of the house on his own was taken to a hospital in stable condition for treatment of smoke inhalation, the OCFA reported. Information was not immediately available on the woman’s identity.
A firefighter suffered a leg injury — a broken leg, according to broadcast reports — and was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
