ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – A 70-year-old Rochester Hills woman was killed overnight in a mobile home fire, officials said.

When they arrived, firefighters found heavy smoke and fire. There were cars in the driveway, so they suspected someone was in the home, according to authorities.
Firefighters entered the burning home and searched for victims, officials said. They said they found a woman inside and removed her.
Officials said the woman was taken to a paramedic team for treatment and transport, but she was not breathing and had no pulse. She died from smoke inhalation, authorities said.
Crews brought the fire under control in about 40 minutes, officials said. The roof collapsed in one section of the home, and there is extensive fire and smoke damage, firefighters said.
No firefighters were injured.
Departments from Oakland Township, Auburn Hills, Bloomfield Township and Birmingham helped with the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
