Officials with the Baker Fire Department have identified the woman as 82-year-old Dorothy Gray.

Members of the State Fire Marshal's Office worked with Baker Fire Department first responders to assist in extinguishing the Monroe Street blaze around 6:15 p.m.  

Gray, a well-known seamstress in the Greater Baton Rouge area, was disabled and could not walk.
