Vermont officials say an elderly woman was rescued from her burning home by a Meals on Wheels driver.
Springfield Deputy Fire Chief Scott Richardson says the driver had stopped to deliver the meals when he saw the house was on fire Friday.
Richardson says the woman was the only occupant and was unaware of the fire.
She was taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
The fire chief says that the cause of the fire remains unknown, but that it does not appear to be foul play.
MyNBC5.com reports the home had a lot of smoke and heat damage.
