Ryan said the Fire Department responded at 9:40 p.m. on May 1 to The Kinloch Apartments for a report of smoke from a building in the complex.
An alarm on the building’s fourth floor alerted the responding crew, who discovered smoke coming from a fourth-floor dwelling unit, Ryan said. The crew forced entry into the unit, and rescued a female resident from a burning chair.
The woman was extricated and taken by medical helicopter to Boston Trauma Center for burns, Ryan said.
An overhead sprinkler contained the fire to the chair, although the unit and a few others nearby sustained some water damage.
