1 person found dead in north Sacramento fire, officials say

WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS. AND THAT BREAKING NEWS IS OUT OF NORTH SACRAMENTO. FIREFIGHTERS ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER ONE PERSON WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER A FIRE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT FIVE. I’M ANDREA FLORES. I’M LISA GONZALEZ. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THAT PERSON WAS FOUND IN A SHED OUTSIDE A HOME ON ACACIA AVENUE, JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM RIO LINDA BOULEVARD. KCRA 3’S ANDRES VALLE IS LIVE AT THE SCENE WITH THE NEWEST INFORMATION. ANDRES. WELL, GUYS, WE KNOW THAT ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND I WAS SPEAKING TO THE FAMILY WHOSE OFF SCREEN? RIGHT NOW? OF COURSE WE’RE OUT OF RESPECT. WE WON’T SHOW THEIR FACE, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THEIR NEPHEW WHO WAS KILLED INSIDE THAT HOME. WE HAVE A FRAME HERE AND SHOW YOU WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. AS INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL ON THE SCENE HERE. WE JUST HAVE ONE FIRE ENGINE STILL IN PLACE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHERE ALL OF THIS UNFOLDED. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND 130 THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHEN FIRE CREWS FIRST CAME OUT HERE. AND THEY SAID THE FIRE STARTED IN THE BACK OF THE HOME. AND THIS TYPE OF SHED, WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT, WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADU. SO THIS IS A SHED THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE HOME. THAT’S WHERE THE FIRE DID START AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD INTO THE ATTIC OF A TWO STORY HOME OF THAT TWO STORY HOME. BUT THAT CAUSED SOME ISSUES FOR FIRE CREWS. AND THIS IS WHAT SACRAMENTO CITY FIRE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THAT. WE WERE 25 MINUTES INTO THIS OPERATION, AND WE STILL HAD FIRE COMING FROM THAT ATTIC SPACE THAT WE WERE STILL TRYING TO MAKE ACCESS TO. SO THAT SHOWS YOU HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TYPICALLY ON A STRUCTURE FIRE LIKE THIS. WE HAVE KNOCKED DOWN WITHIN FIVE, MAYBE TEN MINUTES. SO WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AT THAT POINT AS WELL IS HOW MUCH OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE IS LEFT IN THERE SINCE IT’S BEEN BURNING SO LONG, AND WE DON’T WANT TO RISK ANY TYPE OF ROOF COLLAPSE. NOW BACK OUT HERE LIVE. WE STILL HAVE INVESTIGATORS ON THE SCENE HERE. THEY’RE TREATING THIS AS SUSPICIOUS UNTIL PROVEN. NOT THAT STANDARD PROTOCOL FOR THEM. WHEN THEY FIND SOMEBODY DEAD INSIDE A HOUSE FIRE. BUT LIKE I MENTIONED, I SPOKE TO THAT FAMILY. THEY BELIEVE IT’S THEIR NEPHEW. THERE’S THE FIRE CHAPLAIN CURRENTLY SPEAKING TO THEM. AND ALL I HAVE TO REALLY SAY IS OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM. BUT THAT’S THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE’RE LIVE HERE IN NORTH SACRAMENTO. KCRA THREE N
