Fire at Fremont apartment building leaves 1 dead
A Fremont resident died Wednesday in an apartment building fire, officials said.
Crews were called around 9:20 a.m. to an apartment on the 4200 block of Irvington Avenue for a report of a fire in the hallway; the Fremont Fire Department said they had also been notified of "one adult patient down."
Firefighters at the scene were able to quickly extinguish the fire and soon found a person down in the hallway with severe injuries. They were taken to the hospital but later pronounced dead.
Fire officials said the fire appeared to be cooking-related, and investigators are still determining what caused it.
