BENNINGTON, Vt. (NEWS10) -- One woman is safe after being rescued by Bennington firefighters from a fully-involved structure fire on Wednesday morning. The Bennington Police Department said the woman was not injured, and the home on Jayne Lane was deemed a total loss.

Crews were called to the fire at 1:10 a.m. and encountered the second floor of the home fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on scene. Police on the scene learned that an elderly woman lived in the house, and neighbors believed she was still inside.

Police said officers found the woman in a bedroom on the back side of the house and forced their way through a window to get to her. The officer helped the woman through the window, where a Vermont State Trooper was waiting with other law enforcement to help.
