Investigators were searching Saturday for what had led to a Brooklyn house fire that killed a 91-year-old woman the previous night.

Fire officials say the flames broke out on the second floor of a two-story house around 6 p.m. Friday in Canarsie.

Firefighters quickly got the flames under control, but Eileen Drayton was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Two firefighters suffered minor injuries.
