February 21, 2021



TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A woman is fighting for her life after being found critically injured in a fire that consumed an abandoned commercial building in Topeka, fire officials said.

Fire crews were called around 8:30 p.m. Sunday to a fire in a single-story masonry commercial building that firefighters initially believed to be vacant, the Topeka fire Department said in a news release Monday.

During a search of the building, firefighters found an unresponsive woman and rushed her to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Her name was not immediately released.

An investigation showed the blaze was likely started by a "warming fire," officials said.
