From wwmt.com:
PRAIRE RHONDE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A handicapped woman was killed after her bed caught on fire.
The Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department says it happened around 3 a.m. Sunday on the 16000 block of South 11th Street.
Deputies say the Pat Strayer, 55, called 911 claiming a bed in her home was on fire. She told police she couldn't get out of the house.
Officers from Schoolcraft and Vicksburg Police Department were on the the scene within minutes but they were unable to rescue the homeowner due to the heavy smoke and fire conditions.
When firefighters finally arrived they found the woman dead in her home.
The fire is still under investigation and the name of the victim is not being released at this time.
