A pregnant woman died in a structure fire early Saturday morning inside a building that was illegally converted into a residence.
The Bakersfield Fire Department says a converted smokehouse on Eye street caught fire just before 5 a.m.
After fire crews put out the fire, they discovered the body of a 30 year old pregnant woman inside.
Firefighters say it appears she was living inside the building.
The fire was ruled accidental, caused by a old model wood burning stove.
Investigators say it appears the woman was living in the illegal living quarters that had numerous safety violations.
