A fire that took 45 minutes to extinguish left an 82-year-old woman dead Friday.
Shortly after 10 p.m., the Philadelphia Fire Department responded to a call on the 2800 block of South Marshall Street and spent the aforementioned time period tending to it, finally finding success after venting the roof and the back of the home. Personnel, including Fire Commissioner Derrick Sawyer, who noted flames flowed from first- and second-floor windows, eventually discovered the body of Elizabeth Little. Authorities noted nobody else was present and that they located a smoke detector in the basement. As of press time, they were still trying to determine a cause.
