The fire looked like it was on the rear side of the home. It would come in from the unburned side.

The visibility was pretty low. We made it to the back bedroom. We'd realized that was the fire room for sure. We'd suppressed that fire back, and one of the guys with us, he was using a thermal imaging camera.

He notified us that he did see what looked like the victim towards the backside of the bed. When we made it around to him, what I remember is he was kneeling by the bed in a sense. Almost as if he was praying or something. He was unconscious, but he didn't appear to have thermal burns. He definitely had smoke on his clothes, on his skin.

After we made entry, he was unconscious when we had carried him out.

Anytime we have a house fire with a fatality, it's automatically investigated. So the fire marshal was called out at that time.

Could there have been a fire started here? You know, or is it just coincidental?
