LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — One person was found dead after a house fire in Fort Smith Monday, KATV content partner 40/29 News reported.
Firefighters were called to a home on North 19th Street around 8:30 p.m., according to Fort Smith Battalion Chief Skip Mathews. Crews were reportedly able to get most of the fire out quickly, but the Chief said it was a tough fire.
“There was plywood over all the windows,” Chief Mathews said. “I had to assign a crew to start pulling plywood up just to get some visibility and get the smoke cleared out a little bit.”
The name of the victim was not released.
An investigation into the fire is ongoing.
