(BLOOMINGTON) - A woman was injured Monday in a Bloomington house fire.
Firefighters were called to the 1200 block of East Hillside Drive around 1:30 p.m.
Heavy smoke was seen coming from the home. Police officers closed East Hillside Drive to traffic, between Woodlawn and Highland avenues, while firefighters extinguished the blaze.
Officials say a 70-year-old woman inside called 911 to report the fire and let crews know she was trapped. Firefighters were able to find her and carry her out of the home.
She was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital hospital in stable condition before being transported to Eskenazi Health via Lifeline.
She was the only one in the home when the fire broke out.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the blaze.
