GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities have identified a woman who died after a fire in her Glendale home.

Glendale Fire Department officials say 62-year-old Eva Rascone Cedillo was found unconscious in the home Tuesday evening.

They say Cedillo was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.



Fire investigators have ruled the blaze to be accidental, but can’t determine the exact cause due to heavy damage and dense living conditions.

Department officials say an engine company was concluding a call when a firefighter noticed a large column of smoke just blocks from their location.

The crew went to the home and they found it on fire.

Fencing and reinforced doors and extensive personal belongings in the home made it difficult for firefighters to enter and move around once they got inside.
