Burbank Police and Fire investigators today are working to determine the cause of an apartment fire which apparently killed a woman. It happened in the 200 block of East Alameda Avenue yesterday. Both Burbank Police and Fire responded to the initial call of a medical emergency shortly after 5 p.m.
The first on the scene, a Burbank PD officer, reportedly discovered the body of a 57 year-old resident. “The female appeared to have died as the result of a small fire contained within the apartment. The fire appeared to have burned itself out prior to the arrival of the police and fire personnel,”according to a Burbank PD news release.
