BIDDEFORD — A small apartment building fire killed a woman Saturday night, authorities said.
Teresa Addonizio, 69, apparently fell asleep while smoking a cigarette on her living room couch, said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
The fire, which broke out about 5 p.m., was confined to Addonizio’s second-floor apartment.
No one else was injured in the 25-unit apartment building, and residents were expected to return to their apartments Saturday night, said Lt. Ricky Dussault of the Fire Department.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire, which Dussault described as “relatively small.”
