WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a Waterloo woman was taken to a hospital after a fire at her home.

Firetrucks were dispatched to the house a little before 10 p.m. Thursday, and firefighters say flames were coming through some windows as they arrived. The woman already had escaped.

She reported that a space heater had caught some bedding and other items on fire in her room on the ground floor.



Her name hasn’t been released.
