(KRON) — The Berkeley Fire Department said fire crews discovered the body of a woman at a single-story duplex unit involved in a blaze.
BFD said it received a call at 3:53 p.m. reporting a possible structure fire in the 1300 block of Poe Street.
“The first crew arrived to find flames and smoke showing from three sides of the structure,” BFD said in a statement to KRON4. “It also came in through Dispatch that there was a possible victim inside the house.”
Crews made a forcible entry into the residence and located a female victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
There were no reports of injuries to fire personnel or residents.
BFD said a nearby residence sustained minimal fire damage but likely had smoke damage.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
