MOULTON, Ala. (AP) - Moulton's fire chief says a woman in a wheelchair was rescued through a window after a late-night fire broke out in her home.

The Decatur Daily reported that Chief Ryan Jolly said the woman, who owned the home, refused treatment after her rescue from the single-story house in Lawrence County Saturday night.

About 20 firefighters from the Moulton and Chalybeate Volunteer Fire Department fought the fire. Firefighters remained on the scene until 4 a.m. Sunday.

Jolly did not have the woman's age or name. He said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
