Fatal Fire Remains Under Investigation

The Massachusetts State Fire Marshal's office says a woman who was rescued from a Chickering Street Pittsfield overnight has died from her injuries.

Firefighters were called to the blaze right after 10 Monday night.

In putting down the fire, one Pittsfield Firefighter was hurt. His condition is unknown.

The spokesman for the Fire Marshal's office says that the fire is being investigated by the Police, Fire and State Police as well as the Fire Marshal and the Berkshire County DA's office.

The victim's ID is not being released pending notification of next of kin.

The spokesman says that the apparent initial cause is "accidental."

So far this year, 25 people have died statewide because of fire.
