A woman died Tuesday in a house fire in north Alabama, fire officials said Wednesday.

Piedmont police, fire and EMS personnel were dispatched Tuesday to Greenwood Road in Piedmont on a call of a structure fire with a person possibly trapped in the house, the Piedmont Fire Department said.

Authorities who arrived on the scene were told a woman was trapped in the home.

Piedmont firefighters and police “made several attempts to reach the victim but were unsuccessful,” the fire department said.

After an hours-long search and rescue operation, Rhodes was found in the home. She was pronounced dead.

The fire was under investigation as of Wednesday.
