Upon hearing calls for help from the victim, a neighbor in a duplex next door called 9-1-1 and brought firefighters to the scene.  First arriving firefighters forced entry into the home, and began searching for the victim while other fire crews began work to suppress the fire.  The victim was found unconscious in a back bedroom of the home, and removed to the front porch, where she was revived by firefighter/paramedics before being transported to Baylor Hospital.
