The structure was a 4-unit building in a complex that was completely destroyed by the fire. It began around 5:45 when what many residents described as an explosion-sound occurred immediately followed by a large and fast-growing blaze.

Two neighbors, one of them a local volunteer firefighter, ran to the primary victim's unit where they found a 58-yr.-old woman suffering from burns and large chunks of flaming materials dropping on her from the ceiling. They carried her out, receiving some burns themselves, and she was transported to the hospital with reportedly 28% second- and third-degree burns on her.
