A woman died Thursday after being pulled from a burning apartment in North Portland early Sunday morning.

Portland police reported that the woman, whose name will be released after an autopsy is completed and next-of-kin are notified, was a resident of a four-unit apartment complex in the 3900 block of North Albina Street. On Sunday at 1:42 p.m., she called to report a fire and that she needed help getting out of the second-floor window, according to Portland Fire & Rescue. At the time, the woman was taken to the hospital in serious condition, with second-degree burns on about 30 percent of her body and smoke inhalation.

On Sunday, Chatman told The Oregonian/OregonLive that a man jumped from a second-floor window to escape the flames. The man did not live in the same apartment as the woman who died, Lt. Tina Jones said.

Portland police are investigating the fire as arson, and have asked anyone with information about it to contact their detectives at 503-823-0696 or 503-823-9319.
