Officers responding to the fire learned someone might be inside and began trying to get inside the burning building at 1814 Bond Street in Plant City.
Their first attempt was cut short due to intense heat and smoke. Once they got inside through a sec- ond door, they found a woman slumped over and dragged her out. Crews performed CPR and an am- bulance took her to the hospital.
