Firefighters rescued a woman from a second-floor window while responding to a house fire in Alcova Heights early this morning (Tuesday).
The Arlington County Fire Department responded to the blaze on the 3700 block of 8th Street S. around 5:45 a.m. First responders described a fire in the attic and smoke coming from the roof.
Firefighters used a ladder to bring the woman down and she was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, ACFD said in a social media post.
