Very sad! But let this be a lesson to someone else, and hope everyone gets a smoke alarm in there home.
A working smoke detector would have saved her life. get a smoke detector and check it. Twice a year change the batteries. there are new types that have a ten year battery. learn where to install them and the best type for your house photo electric or ionazation. one detects smoke (photo electric ) and the other products of combustion when you can’t see smoke or smell smoke yet. such a simple way to save a life
Aweful I am praying for the family.
