CAMDEN, Del.- An accidental fire sent an elderly woman to the hospital Friday morning in Camden.

An 83-year-old woman was taken to Bayhealth Kent Campus for treatment of smoke inhalation and burns. She is currently in stable condition.
The state fire marshal deputies determined the fire was caused by combustibles stored too close to a central heating unit. The household items ignited causing the house to burn.
