QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A woman rescued from her burning home has died from her injuries.

A fire broke out at the two-family home on Harvard Street in Quincy early Sunday morning.

Fire officials say the 54-year-old woman was rescued from her first floor apartment but later died at Brigham and Women’s hospital from the severity of her burns.

A dog also perished in the fire. Fire officials say a family on the second floor of the building managed to escape the blaze.
