Live Boston reports that firefighters responding to a report of an outdoor trash fire on on Edgewater Drive between Topalian and Mattakeeset streets around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday instead found a woman fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters summoned EMS and quickly doused the fire. The woman was brought to a local hospital with third-degree burns covering most of her body. Because of the severity of her injuries, the BPD homicide unit was called in and is now investigating the incident.
